(No direct Virtualbox fail but the device does not appears on Virtualbox VM).



About USB 2.0/3.0 ... I do not expect Virtualbox to have working USB passthru
at 2.0 or 3.0 speed, I just need its basic 1.1 speed that is available in open
source version.

But that does not work on FreeBSD.

I was just showing that no matter if I attach an USB dongle thru 2.0 or 3.0
port it still does not work.

Last time I checked FreeBSD has different drivers for 2.0 and 3.0 USB so that
information COULD help to narrow the problem.
