Instead use the device_add command eg in plain monitor format: device_add usb-host,hostbus=BUS,hostaddr=ADDR,vendorid=VID,productid=PRID Or QMP format { "execute": "device_add", "arguments": { "driver": "usb-host", "hostbus": "BUS", "hostaddr": "ADDR", "vendorid": "VID", "productid": "PRID" }} This accepts identical param names as the -device command line arg which is documented in docs/qdev-device-use.txt Regards, Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://deltacloud.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
