I have a device I want a guest to see. I've configured the following: % cat /etc/libvirt/HotPlug/owon.xml <hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb'> <source> <vendor id='0x5345'/> <product id='0x1234'/> </source> </hostdev> And then in udev: % cat /etc/udev/rules.d/90-owon.rules ACTION=="add", \ SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \ SYSFS{idVendor}=="5345", \ SYSFS{idProduct}=="1234", \ RUN+="/usr/bin/virsh attach-device XP_VM1 /etc/libvirt/HotPlug/owon.xml" ACTION=="remove", \ SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \ SYSFS{idVendor}=="5345", \ SYSFS{idProduct}=="1234", \ RUN+="/usr/bin/virsh detach-device XP_VM1 /etc/libvirt/HotPlug/owon.xml" Now this works; I plug the device in and the guest sees it. The problem is that, each time, it shows up at a different address on the guest's USB bus. And, Windows XP being Windows, this means it asks to load a device driver each and every time (I've never understood why Windows wants to load a new device driver just because you plug a device into a different port). Does anyone know of a way of adding a device so that it's at a known fixed address inside the guest? -- rgds Stephen
