Hi,
Recently USB 2.0 support was merged into upstream qemu, I guess libvirt
and virt-manager needs some bits to support this ...
The docs/usb2.txt file in the qemu source tree carries some information
on how to use it, and also some hints for USB pass-through. The most
recent version (not yet merged upstream) can be found here:
http://www.kraxel.org/cgit/qemu/tree/docs/usb2.txt?h=usb.15
If there are any questions feel free to ask.
cheers,
Gerd
