Hi, I had no trouble with usb devices on native openindiana installations.
Now I installed openindiana inside VMWare4.1 that supports USB devices, and infact
they work correctly with Linux guests.
On a virtualized Openindiana, I can attach usb keys, and see them correctly.
I then attached an USB CDC modem, that usually works instantly on native setup, just
by running "tip /dev/cua/0" I can see it works.
On VMWare4.1, the modem is attached, I can see the device at /dev/cua/0 exactly linked
as it was in the native setup.
Running tip, I receive errors though.
Here is what appears in /var/adm/messages when the modem is attached:
Jun 20 20:45:00 openindiana usba: [ID 912658 kern.info] USB 1.10 interface (usbif6e0,f11a.config2.0) operating at full speed (USB 1.x) on USB 1.10 root hub: modem at 0,2, usbsacm0 at bus address 2

Jun 20 20:45:00 openindiana genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] usbsacm0 is /pci at 0,0/pci15ad,790 at 11/pci15ad,1976 at 2/communications at 1/modem at 0,2
The pci device then is linked to /dev/cua/0 automatically.
Here is what tip says:
tip: /dev/cua/0: No such device or address
all ports busy
Any idea?
