I recently got a USB wireless NIC that I want to allow one of my Windows 10 virtual machines to have access to and ultimately connect to wifi for testing.
Code: Select all
$ vboxmanage list usbhost
Host USB Devices:
UUID: b55d86ba-4814-488b-bd43-c453391c6864
VendorId: 0x0bda (0BDA)
ProductId: 0x8179 (8179)
Revision: 0.0 (0000)
Port: 9
USB version/speed: 2/High
Manufacturer: Realtek
Product: 802.11n NIC
SerialNumber: 00E04C0001
Address: sysfs:/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-10//device:/dev/vboxusb/001/008
Current State: Captured
Code: Select all
$ vboxmanage modifyvm Win10Client2 --usb-ehci=on --usb-xhci=on --usb-ohci=on
$ vboxmanage usbfilter add 0 --target Win10Client2 --name "802.11n NIC" --vendorid 0BDA --productid 8179 --revision 0000 --remote no --serialnumber 00E04C0001 --manufacturer "Realtek"
$ vboxheadless -startvm Win10Client2 &
$ vboxmanage controlvm Win10Client2 usbattach b55d86ba-4814-488b-bd43-c453391c6864
But it seems like I'm struggling to get Windows 10 to recognize the attached USB. In Device Manager, it keeps showing Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed).
I'm not 100% sure if I need the USB filter?
Any guidance is most welcome!
TIA
