Hello, Here is what the enhancement requester states about the requested information: • For USB redirection from Client (where the client does not need to be the host) to VM: - Host/Client: usbredir package, It's in standard RHEL6 channel and qemu on the host needs to be set with correct options, which are not exposed in RHEL6 virt-manager but can be set manually using command line tool "virsh" according to the blog post - http://hansdegoede.livejournal.com/11084.html. note the "which are not exposed in RHEL6 virt-manager but can be set manually" pieces. • USB Redirection never worked properly in virt-manager throughout all our testing. Haven't retested with virt-manager since making the manual changes specified above. Spicy certainly started working. • Red Hat providing a script to make the above changes would be useful. Or supporting the above setup in the virt-manager GUI. One should not be forced to go into virsh edit domain and manually edit xml to make usb redirection work. Please feel free to let me know if there's anything else I can do to help keep this bug moving along. I'm getting back to this bug after a while since it's not the highest priority right now, sorry for that. It's still not clear to me what's the requested work, but is it maybe what is written in BZ 807277 as well? Thanks for the info. In case the BZs are requesting the same behavior/information, feel free to either mark it as a duplicate or let me know and I'll handle the situation. Thanks. Fixed in upstream commit RELEASE-0.9.0-1-41-gfaf93c0:
commit faf93c0f8f656ae4e2ff69ca37f1f7d5804ef894
