Unfortunately, yes. Keep the custom build driver.
Sadly I'm having the same exact issue, and the link expired. Can I get a copy of that module please?

Ramshankar,

Just wanted to say thanks. This works perfectly on Solaris 11.1.13.6.0 & VirtualBox 4.3.4!

Any hopes of seeing this merged into the official product?

Okay - finally had a few moments to do some additional testing...

Using latest Soliars 11 release - 11.1.13.6.0

Using latest VirtualBox release - 4.3.4r91027

Using the vboxusb driver you provided.

Booted the windows 7 VM, attached the Blackberry phone, started the blackberry desktop software, off it went to "initializing device" screen with the nice spinning icon... There it sat indefinitely...

On the Solaris side, we see the following...

Dec 9 14:55:49 nurb5088250 genunix: [ID 408114 kern.info] /pci@0,0/pci17aa,21f6@14/device@1 (usb_mid4) online

Dec 9 14:55:50 nurb5088250 genunix: [ID 408114 kern.info] /pci@0,0/pci17aa,21f6@14/device@1 (vboxusb3) online

All good, transferring blackberry device control to the VirtualBox VM...

20 minutes into the initialization process, we get

Ram,

Would you mind sharing the vbox usb driver again? It seems, that link provided is expired.
I am running Solaris 11.1 host with Win XP as guest with VBox 4.3.6. I assumed this might have been fixed in recent Vbox build, as it is reported a while ago. But now I tracked this thread, I need same fix. (USB worked fine on Solaris 11 Express).

Appreciate help!

Thanks
Chinna

Sorry for the late response.

Here you go: https://www.virtualbox.org/download/tes ... 64_sol.zip

Instruction on how to install, see this post: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=55816&start=15#p268335 (follow from point 2 in that post, the info. above that is irrelevant, i.e. you can use it with VirtualBox 4.3.x versions, not just RC1 as mentioned in that post)

Unfortunately, I'm still having issues with USB devices being accessible by the Windows 7 guest OS.

Perhaps it's the rev of my Intel Chipset or something like that. Waiting for Solaris 11.2 to be released to see if it fixes my usb issues.

For now, it's no usb devices for Windows 7.

Is the driver issue still relevant for 11.1 & 4.3.10?

because I'm also having this issue and would like to try this fix.

I really hope this either becomes a public release at some point or they repost the link, I would love to be able to use VB in my test environment.

The link isn't valid anymore. Please provide new download link.

Thanks,
