Hi all,
I'm running Linux (Debian Etch, Gentoo 2007) in VMWare Player 2.0.3 build-80004 on Windows XP SP2. With older kernels (2.6.18 Debian Etch, 2.6.19 Gentoo) the HUB will be correctly detected:
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new interface driver hub
usbcore: registered new device driver usb

As result I can only use one USB device at a time. Is there any solution for this problem?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,

Hi Goshik,
VMware is aware of this problem and working on a fix for the future Beta releases. Please try the upcoming Workstation and Fusion releases to see if this has been addressed.
