[fedora-virt] USB passthrough stopped working

[VISEUR Eric]

Hi,

Sorry, forgot that bit.  Guess holidays made me lose some habits :)

QEMU: 2.1.0-4.fc20
Libvirt: 1.2.7-2.fc20
Virt-manager: 1.0.1-3.fc20

All from the fedora-virt-preview repo.

Best regards,

No direct answer to your question, but explicitly spelling out versions of QEMU, libvirt and virt-manager will be useful for anyone who wants to reproduce your issue.
