USB2.0 on Virtual Box

Hi,

how is the state of USB2.0 on the Virtual Box port?

Known facts:

For other OSes to use USB2.0 one has to install an extension to make use
of it, and this extension is not offered for FreeBSD.

There has been a posting a while ago from H.P.Selasky (hopefully spelled
correctly) implementing USB2 on the FreeBSD-port of vbox.

Some testing gave partially working devices on windows guest running in
a vbox from short after the mentioned posting using FreeBSD as host. The
device showed up but was not usable for transmissions.

Questions:

Is the USB code meant to replace the missing extension from Sun/Oracle?

Does the code from H.P.Selasky implement so called "high speed"
transmision at 480Mbps, too?

(Leave the CC intafct, please, I'm not subscribed)

TIA,
Marc
