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.

#dmesg

hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

#lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub


Expected results:
------------------
Usb webcam passthroughed should work correctly in guest. 


Additional info:
-------------------
When use "-usb" instead of "-device usb-ehci,id=ehci" in qemu command line, webcam works correctly in guest, but there is "husb: out of buffers for iso stream" prompt in qemu monitor constantly.
Comment 3 Gerd Hoffmann 2011-09-12 07:48:05 UTC 
It is a usb 1.1. webcam, it will not work on a pure usb 2.0 host controller.
Just use 'usb' or create a EHCI controller with 1.1 companions using
http://www.kraxel.org/cgit/qemu/tree/docs/ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg

When constantly running out of buffers you can try more buffers using the isobufs property (device_add usb-host,hostbus=3,hostaddr=7,id=camera,isobufs=8).  Default value for isobufs is 4.
