Sorry for the long post. I have a Debian Testing machine, fully update, using VirtualBox (VBox) with Windows XP installed as a guest OS.
$ uname -a Linux red 3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Apr 15 16:47:38 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux I am trying to access a USB device from with the guest OS, XP, after connecting it to a USB port on the machine. I have listed the USB device in the VBox's USB settings and checked it to make it available to the guest OS. I even got this arrangement to work a few times, however, I am having difficulty getting it work consistently. Here is what is happening. Debian Testing has a fixed IP address. While I have the guest OS, XP, running, I connect the usb device to the Debian machine. It is seen as a networking device by Debian as "usb0". Windows XP beeps as if it has seen the USB device as well, but after that does nothing. Debian does create a usb0 networking device though. Just that Windows XP doesn't appear to know anything about it. Now, after I reconnect the USB again, it doesn't do anything else, it is as if Debian's auto-detection is all gone. What script do I need to restart to get the detection working again without having to reboot? I realize I am not giving any specific information, becuase I am not sure what I am looking for here yet. Any idea may help to focus on the right spot. Thanks. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
