I have a USB Z-Wave stick from Sigma Designs that I want to use in a linux guest (debian).In the OSX System Report it shows up in the USB Device Tree as 'Communication Device':Code: Communication Device:Product ID: 0x0200Vendor ID: 0x0658 (Sigma Designs, Inc.)Version: 0.00Speed: Up to 12 Mb/secLocation ID: 0x14500000 / 28Current Available (mA): 500Current Required (mA): 100I've also found that it creates a serial device at /dev/tty.usbmodem1411 which I've confirmed works by using it in z-wave applications.I am however not able to pass the usb device through to my debian guest. I've tried both adding a USB filter for 'Unknown device 0658:0200' and empty filter (which should match any device?).In the linux guest I get the same output from lsusb -command with/without these filters active:Code: root@core /dev# lsusbBus 001 Device 002: ID 80ee:0021 VirtualBox USB TabletBus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubAny ideas?

Could it be that osx has already 'grabbed' the usb device when it exposed it as a serial device? I remember having a similar issue with an older version of Virtualbox on a Linux host which auto-mounted a usb hard drive that I wanted to pass through. Back then I simply solved it by un-mounting the usb hard drive on the host.
It’s fairly easy to leave Windows behind. Just buy a Mac, take a couple of days to settle in, and never look back. But for Microsoft Office users, the need to buy Office for Mac again can be a hassle.
