Have you had USB working in VB at any point or just not with this device?
I was using this device in VB in the previous release. No problems!
Have you added a few empty USB filters to your VM?
I tried, and I filled the fields based on the info in /var/log/messages like serial number, manufacturer and product. But when I clock on the + icon on the right, it says No devices available.
The way USB devices work in virtualbox is not very intuitive. Have you tried adding empty filters instead (the first button with the small blue circle)?
The + button is for adding devices that you want mapped to your VM by default (on VM startup). Adding empty filters will match any USB device and will not be mapped until you enable them from your virtual machine via the USB icon in the lower right of the window.
