Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
Results of lsusb :
Host machine (RHEL WS 6)
"Bus 002 Device 006: ID 0529:0001 Aladdin Knowledge Systems HASP v0.06"
Virtual machine on which the usb-passthrough was set :
"Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000"
The result is the same with a centos 5.5 or a red hat 5 in the virtual machine.
I tried too with a usb key (different ID), with no more success.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Up to date version of RHEL WS 6 on 21 feb 2011
How reproducible:
Every time I try to passtrough a usb device to a virtual machine.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create / migrate a virtual machine with virt-manager or manually
2. Try to add a usb device with virt-manager or in the vm config file
3. Launch the vm and cry -_- .
Actual results:
Expected results:
Physical usb dongle/usb key should be seen by the virtual machines when passed through.
Additional info:
Settings of the vm :

I tried to disable SElinux (SELINUX=disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux followed by a reboot). No more results.
The deamon aksusbd was dealing on the host with the usb dongle. I stopped it
No more results.
I tried and installed in /usr/local http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-0.13.0.tar.gz, the keys/usb dongle are seen by virtual machines, so I think there's no problem on the kernel side.
Sorry but we're not supporting this scenario:
Bug 620657 - (unsupported) Unsupported device uses need to be documented in release notes.
We blocked it since it was not stable upstream.
