Comment 68 for bug 787091

Thanks, that's good to know.

Given that your xml has:

−
<hostdev mode="subsystem" type="usb" managed="yes">
−
<source>
<vendor id="0x04a9"/>
<product id="0x1717"/>
</source>
</hostdev>

and discussion on irc claimed that libvirt should be adding any specified usb devices to the whitelist, I can finally mark this Confirmed, in fact Triaged. The fix may turn out to be hard to implement, but is at least simple conceptually.
