Jeff, if you still need to keep your static /dev setup, can you please try: $ mkdir /dev/bus $ mount -t devtmpfs none /dev/bus $ mount --bind /dev/bus/bus /dev/bus This should replace the yucky usbfs nodes at /proc/bus/ with the usual /dev/bus/ kernel-managed device nodes. It tricks the usually used /dev devtmpfs, into just providing /dev/bus/ on top of your static /dev. VMWare should pick up this directory, just like it works for all usual distro-like setups, and find the dynamically managed USB devices.
