Hi All.
I'm currently using VMware Workstation on my Vista pc and I have a WinXP guest OS. I'm using it for PLC programming via Siemens Step7 software and a USB device that makes the connection to to PLC hardware. and it works great!
My trouble is the following:
I would like to change my Host system to Gentoo linux. and I've successfully installed VMware workstation and copied the guest OS over.
It starts perfectly, it even recognises the Siemens USB "PC Adapter" when I plug it in.
But when I try to use it, it just says that "the communication link to the adapter is damaged"
I guess some of the usb communication is faulty under linux? (Because it works fine on the Vista Host system.)
other usb devices like flashdrives etc. works fine...
Does anybody know what I can do to get it to work or have some ideas?
Thanks
