USB Problems with 1.6.2

Fedora 9 host, WinXP as the guest.
I've tried disabling USB2.0 but all of my USB devices show up grayed out in the menu.
I've also tried to change the permissions:
chmod 777 /proc/bus/usb
Any ideas?

Please refer to the user manual. The permission need to be change recursively for that tree. Better mount that file system with proper permissions.

Thanks for the help, but I have read the users manual.
chmod -R 777 /proc/bus/usb
Has no effect. The manual also mentions the user USB, which Fedora does not have. It also mentions mountkernfs.sh which Fedora does not have!

USB Problems with 1.6.2

I haven't upgraded to 1.6.2 (I'm only at 1.6).
I have tried the various recommended ways of getting the USB to work on my Debian-Testing system.
The only simple and reliable way I have found to get my USB devices (especially memory sticks) to work is to NOT enable USB 2 support (the lower of the two USB checkboxes). As soon as I turn this off, everything works fine and I haven't noticed any slow performance of my USB memory sticks and printer.
