I think vmware tries to open the usual /dev/bus/usb/ nodes directly after it has tried the deprecated /proc nodes. Udev would create the /dev/bus/ nodes. Or the kernel would create them itself if: CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT=y is used. > Use /dev/usb/ device nodes instead.

Many distros have disabled the USB_DEVICEFS option and there are usually no reports about problems any more. But I guess the number of systems that want to run USB devices, and pass them along to virtualization, but have an unmanaged static /dev are close to one user these days. :) Kay -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
