Description of problem: When creating or changing the hardware configuration of a KVM guest using virt-manager, you have the possibility to add a "Controller USB" device. You can also specify the model of this device. The two options for model are "Default" and "USB 2". I incorrectly assumed that these two would be the same. When using USB redirection through a SPICE client to the KVM guest, I could not get the redirection to work. It became clear that this only works when the model for "Controller USB" is set to "USB 2". I would like to suggest that the default for adding a "Controller USB" device to a KVM guest is changed to "USB 2". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.5-1.fc18 How reproducible: Create a guest with the Default Controller USB model and try to redirect a host USB device to the guest using for instance virt-viewer. The USB device on the host can be selected, but it fails immediately. Then change to "USB 2" and it will work. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Fixed upstream, we use USB2 as the default for new guests
