Well, so sad.
Some people have reported success with the NEC USB 3.0 drivers, but
alas there is no generic nor virt specific USB 3.0 driver for Windows 7.
Yes, I also noticed the NCE drivers, but i failed to attach it to the
guest with the default i440fx machine(i'm using ovirt-4.3)
In other KVM managers there is an option to change the emulated USB
controller to 2.0 only, but oVirt lacks such an option.
You might have luck with writing a custom hook to change the vm
domain
xml at launch if you really need it.
I did so where the hook will change win7 guest driver to usb2.0, but
it's a bit ugly and i don't know iif guest is win7 or not.
You could also try changing the custom machine type to one of the
i440fx variants to see if that gives you USB 2.0, but I've not
attempted it recently.
Do you need USB 3.0 specificily, or is this a "want to get rid of that
last yellow caution symbol in Device Manager" thing? :)
I perfer to use USB3.0, since nowadays almost all spice-client are
running on a usb3.0 host. Without usb3.0 support, i'm unable to redirect
usb3.0 storage to the guest.
Thanks
