Lol weird it's not marked as duplicate anymore anyway, guess it was not you then. Don't know what happened.
Can this bug be fixed in KVM or is it really to Windows specific? Else I may have a look at it, never did any KVM development though, should be fun. @Serge: Did you get the license already and had a look at this bug? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/685096 Title: USB Passthrough not working for Windows 7 guest Status in QEMU: Confirmed Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: USB Passthrough from host to guest is not working for a 32-bit Windows 7 guest, while it works perfectly for a 32-bit Windows XP guest. The device appears in the device manager of Windows 7, but with "Error code 10: device cannot start". I have tried this with numerous USB thumbdrives and a USB wireless NIC, all with the same result. The device name and functionality is recognized, so at least some USB negotiation is taking place. I am trying this with the latest git-pull of QEMU-KVM.
