Dell 9560 - linux mint 18.2 - workstation 14pro - yubikey 4c not available.

Hello,

I'm running Linux mint 18.2 on my Dell XPS 9560 and VMware workstation 14 won't see my Yubikey 4c.

When I plug the device into my laptop the host OS picks it up, but doesn't seem to allow the option to connect to a new device. I've tried with a few different VM's running different OS's, but I'm having no luck.

I spoke to Yubikey support who advised adding a couple of lines into the .vmx file, but this hasn't helped. I have tried plugging other devices into my USB-C port, they are picked up and available to pass through to the guest OS.

Yubikey support advise it looks like a VMware issue, but I suspect it's a either the yubikey, or my host OS, however it would be good to confirm it's not VMware workstation.

Any assistance welcome.

Thanks.

Please attach /var/log/vmware/vmware-usbarb0*.log (the latest one). Also can you please run "lsusb -v" on your host, and copy related information about yubikey 4c device? Thanks a lot!
