Description
With version 6.1.28 running on a Linux Host and a Windows 7 or 10 guest, some USB passthrough operations fail.
This was first reported at https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1192338 where the reporter noted that he could not attach an iPhone to iTunes through his Windows 10 VM on an openSUSE Leap 15.3 host. He also notes that when the VM is closed, there is no power on the USB port until he reboots.
I further tested using an RTL8188EUS Wifi dongle passed through to a Windows 7 or 10 guest from an openSUSE Tumbleweed host. In this case, the Windows software creates a network device, but is unable to complete setting it up. This operation worked with 6.1.26.
I tested my setup using the Oracle binary RPM for openSUSE Leap 15. It had the same problem.


This problem persists in 6.1.30!!!!
