[vbox-dev] [PATCH] VirtualBox USB support under FreeBSD 8/9+

[Hans Petter Selasky]

Hi,

Please find attached files and patches needed to make USB support fully work 
in VirtualBox under FreeBSD 8/9+. All patches and code is given under the MIT 
license, if that was not already clear to you.

I also want to thank all the people that sponsored me to do this "upgrade" of 
the existing FreeBSD USB code in VirtualBox with $500.

Instructions:

1) Replace the USBProxyDevice-freebsd.cpp found in the virtualbox 
sources by the one attached to this e-mail.

2) Apply the attached patches

Additional, how to automatically give VirtualBox rights to USB devices:

#
# /usr/local/etc/devd/virtualbox_dev_0x1234.conf
#
notify 50 {
        match "system"          "USB";
        match "subsystem"       "DEVICE";
        match "type"            "ATTACH";
        match "vendor"          "0x1234";
        action "chown virtualbox:virtualbox /dev/$cdev";
};

3) If USB 2.0 support is not present in VirtualBox, try:

sysctl hw.usb.ehci.no_hs=1

And then re-plug the device. Then the all USB HIGH speed USB devices will 
attach like FULL speed ones.
