I am trying to determine which hub a usb drive is connected to so as not to enable it for passthrough on a vmware esxi server. The interface for configuring this is not correlating, at least from my flawed interpretation of the output of lsusb at the console. One of the options in the interface is as follows: 00:Id.0 I Intel Corporation 8280131 (ICH10 Family) USB UHCI Controller #1 Device Name 8280131 (ICH10 F... Vendor Name Intel Corporation ID 00:1d.7 Class ID C03 Device ID 3A3A Subdevice ID 330D Vendor ID 8086 Subvendor ID 103C Function 7 Slot 29 Bus 0 Below is the output from lsusb -v at the console. I can't correlate this with any of the output so I am unsure how to deduce what devices are attached already to this controller. Thanks for any guidance! jlc Bus 01 Device 03: ID 13b1:0020 Linksys WUSB54GC 802.11g Adapter [ralink rt73] Device Descriptor: bLength 18 bDescriptorType 1 bcdUSB 2.00 bDeviceClass 0 (Defined at
