Hi,
A user of mine is trying to ruin oVirt's reputation by asking me how
will I handle the USB dongle issue.
I found nothing like USB passthrough drivers, and I don't intend to use
such a bad solution.
Is there anyone here who faced such a request?
I saw http://www.dongleservice.com/ and
http://www.digi.com/products/usb/anywhereusb, but I was wondering if
anything lighter would exist (based on some dd
if=/dev/goodOldLinuxTrickWeLove things...)
The VM is a XP or 2003, and I already tried dd /dev/myUsbDevice
of=dongle.iso, then mount it in the VM with daemon tool. The iso is
mounting, but the content does not appear. Anyway, I'm not sure at all
this will be enough emulation to convince the doubtful software *this*
is its dongle.
Regards,
