Connect multiple usb devices which has same vender, serial and product ids into multiple vms

Post by Pumayk26 »

Hello, I want to have my VMs it's own ip address for internet connection. So I decide to go with multiple 3g usb dongles. Unfortunately all those usb dongles has same serial number, vendor id and product id. So if I connect all those usb dongles at once all of em get assigned to a single virtual machine. Others won't get a thing. Once I shut down that assigned VM, all of dongles get assigned to the next running vm (if I select usb modem for that vm). Is there any way to fix this..?

I tried to change those values in usb devices, but I didn't found a proper way to do that. Seems like it's impossible to do. So anyone had this issue and got fixed..? Or should I go with another model..?
