Identifying usb devices
I have a couple devices on my host system which are reported by as being manufactured by Realtek. I need to give one of them to the guest but not the other. How can I accurately identify which is which? For instance, is the 'address' listed anywhere in Windows registry or device manager?
Many thanks in advance

Re: Identifying usb devices
See USB basics and troubleshooting.
If the two devices have different data in the fully-populated Virtualbox USB filter, such as serial numbers being different, then you can follow the USB Basics tutorial's advice to use only the VendorID and ProductID, then add one of the differing pieces of other data to the filter.
If the two devices have identical filter data and none of the data is different, then you can add the port number to the filter for the device you want to add to the VM. See Distinguish multiple identical USB devices.
