The filter does not change the permission of the device, so if it can not be accessed by your user, or by the vboxusers group, it will show as grayed out. As a quick and dirty test, change the ownership and permission of the /proc/bus/usb/<bus>/<device> to match your user and vboxusers group. chown poc:vboxusers /proc/bus/usb/003/032 chmod 664 /proc/bus/usb/003/032 Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
