A device USB should be compatible with the Mac to work in Linux VM?

Greetings.

A USB device has to work on the OS to run in a guest host OS?

I am running VMware Fusion on Mac OS X 10.6.8 3.1.3. I have a BackTrack 5 Linux virtual machine and I would like to add an Alfa Network AWUS036H USB network adapter to run in the guest OS (Linux).

My problem is that the AWUS036H driver does not work with OS X 10.6.8 but it will work with BackTrack 5 Linux. (A newer model of the network adapter, the AWUS036NH, will work with 10.6.8 but apparently does not work as well as the AWUS036H.)

Can I use the AWUS036H with a guest OS (Linux) even if it is not supported on the host (MacOS)?

Thank you

Jeff

No, the USB device failed to work under Mac OS X to attach it to a Virtual Machine even if she has to recognize a device has been plugged in and you can see in System Profiler.   As long as it appears in the hardware level, you should be able to attach to the prompt and install the drivers in the guest operating system to use the device in the guest operating system.

  • "Unknown device" USB Barcode scanner, problem with the USB controller driver?

    Hello

    I need assistance with our Barcode Scanners that doesn't work on our newly purchased computers at HP with Windows7 Pro x 64 operating systems.

    The brand and model of the bar code scanner is:

    Datalogic Heron D130 USB.

    When you connect the scanner to a USB port, Windows will try to install this as a HID, but it takes an unusually long time, about 7-8 seconds, to boot the device and install the drivers and appears as an unknown device in windows "devices and printers" and the hand scanner does not work.

    Sometimes when you move the USB back can I sometimes the scanner at hand to be recognized as an HID device or a Datalogic barcode scanner,

    It works fine until you restart the computer.

    After restart the computer cannot detect the scanner Barcode correctly without re - appears as unknown device.

    I suspect that there is a compatibility problem between barcode scanner and card USB controller on the computers.

    I tried to update all the drivers available on the website www.hp.com and same www.Intel.com (chipset drivers) but nothing has helped to solve this problem

    Tried newly bought barcode scanners and "used" barcode scanners earlier who works on other computers, but the problem remains.

    I found a workaround by connection of bar codes in a USB hub, and then plug the USB hub to the computer.  And leave the USB - hub to take care of the communication with the Barcode Scanner.

    in this case, it takes about 2 seconds for the code scanner barcode to mount correctly in windows under the heading "devices and printers" and then works perfectly, even after a reboot.

    I googled after a response after my problem, but it seems I'm the only one who experience this issue. ?!

    Bought more than 40 computers that I have this problem.

    These were bought at different times with two different for suppliers

    Computer model are the following

    HP ProDesk 1 400 P/N5S21EA

    Specifikations:

    http://WWW8.HP.com/emea_africa/en/products/desktops/product-detail.html?OID=6614160#! tab = specifications

    Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong and how to fix it?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    The problem is not power - related.

    We use passive USB hubs that solves the problemon these computers.

    (it also works with the docks, or if you EliteDisplay E241 HP as we thers a usb hub 2 ports inbulit in monitor that works.)

    The problem lies in the incompatibility between the Intel USB controller and the hand scanner, can be connected to USB 3.0

    When you let another usb-controller support in handshakeing (such as a usb hub), it works.

    Datalogic or Intel would like to acknowledge this error.

    Because none of the big companies want to acknowledge the problem or repair, personally chose to switch to an AMD platform / CPU instead of the Intel and now it works fine!

    We get more performance for your money when AMD is usually less expensive to purchase.

    And because of the poor of Datalogic press where they don't even answer e-mail (their only channel for support)

    I chose to stop using their products. I'm going to use another provider / brand of barcodescanners.

  • Xfinity X 1 modem/router is compatible with the Airport Extreme? How it should be configured to maintain my wireless network?

    I got a modem Comcast/Xfinity upgrade. Xfinity X 1 modem/router is compatible with the Airport Extreme? How it should be configured to maintain my wireless network?

    Whenever you change the modem or modem/router on a network, AirPort Extreme will be reset to the default settings and then set it up again to work properly with the new modem. For this he would be...

    Turn on AirPort Extreme for a few minutes... If it is not already turned on

    Hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 7-8 seconds, then release it.

    Allow a minute for the AirPort Extreme restart to a slow, flashing amber light status

    Make sure that an Ethernet cable connects to one of the four LAN <-->Ethernet ports on the modem/router on port WAN "O" on AirPort Extreme

    To start the Setup program, click the WiFi icon at the top of the screen on your Mac and are looking for a list of the new AirPort base station

    Just below that, click directly on the AirPort Extreme and then follow the prompts for configuration "Wizard".

    When you configure AirPort Extreme once again, you can use the same wireless network name and the same password that you used with AirPort Extreme with the 'old' modem, if you wish, or use a new wireless network name and password

  • Devices that are compatible with the Tablet HP Jet 7 Signature Edition

    With HP Jet 7, what Bluetooth wireless keyboard and optical mouse will work with it?

    Also, I buy a wireless printer to use as well - I have to be aware of?

    I'm starting a blog with limited capital. Thank you to everyone who contributes to the cybercomputability of us all.

    Hello and welcome to the HP support community!

    Ask us the question, "what should I buy?" is difficult to answer.  We do not know your needs or preferences (others you have "limited Fund").  There are hundreds of printers with wireless capabilities.  Still, we don't know what you're wanting - ink jet, laser, color, photo printing capacity jet, absolute who is cheapest available?  Print you hundreds of documents per month, or two or three?

    You ask strictly for HP products which are compatible with the Tablet?  All/all products from other manufacturers?

    If you are expected to produce a list of all the possible volumes that work, it won't happen...

    In theory, any BlueTooth keyboard or mouse designed to work with a Windows PC should work.  HP made several.

    Most wireless printers use a wifi network.  It will help if you have one at home - an HP ePrint printer can print a file from anywhere in the world if connect you to a network home.  No network?  There are other printers that can print directly using wifi.

    Think about your needs first, and then balance the costs involved.   It would be useful you ask on the printers in the printer of the Forum sections.

    Theoretically, most of the WiFi cards should work, but the best way would be if you take a WiFi card that was delivered with a computer laptop Satellite P10.
