Hi guys, I need to connect a new USB Network Interface on Kali Linux guest but the problem is : the VM does not recognize the USB...I tried many things to fix the problem without any positive results...
If someone could help me, here's the last log :

You need to install VB 5.0.8 in order to have USB support with a OSX 10.11.1 host.

REALLY REALLY thanks you man ! This solution worked ))

welcome.

Hi, I already update VB to 5.0.8 but still failed to load USB. The error code is NS_ERROR_FALLURE 0x80004005
What should I do to resolve this issue?

Did you install the extension pack for 5.0.8?

Yes, my package version is 5.0.8r103449 but still failed to load usb

Attach the vbox.log for the guest.

With the VM fully shut down, right click it in the VB GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

Here is the log file. Thank you guys.

You will see in this thread (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=69179) and a few others on this forum and scattered around the net that many of us are having the same problem on 5.0.8 but unfortunately nobody official has chipped in anything on the topic. The official stance is that "USB for El Cap has been fixed in VB 5.0.8". You will find people repeating this and asking you to go thru the standard trouble shooting steps that you have no doubt tried already however your only real options are to wait for the next release of VB and cross your fingers, go back to Yosemite if u have a backup or use another host OS.

Just a couple of comments about USB support with VB 5.0.8 and OSX 10.11.*
1. OSX 10.11.* still has some USB issues all its own.
2. USB 2.0 and 3.0 hard drives, flash drives and Apple's Superdrive do work.
3. I cannot find an official statement "USB for El Cap has been fixed in VB 5.0.8". Certainly not in the sense that guarantees every USB device made will work.

As far as…

That is not the case. There are commercial hypervisor options available which may or may not work with all USB devices.

Did your USB device work with any version prior to 5.0.8? I ask because I notice that your guest is XP, which has no USB3 support. If it's a mass storage device then you can still access it as a shared folder.

Yes, it works well on VM 4.3.32/Yosemite

Please be less vague about what worked. Is it USB2 or USB3? Is it a mass storage device?
