RE: blacklisting a usb device with network manager

Your virtual machine is only going to see the virtual network that vmware creates.  The host system gets to access the hardware directly, all the guests only see the virtual network.

Hey all.

I have two usb wireless devices that I have plugged into my computer.  I am on ubuntu 9.04 so the rt73usb is the kernel module used to drive them.  However I only want to use one of them in my host system.  The other one I want to use exclusively in a VM machine.  It is also driven by the rt73.  The vm has intrepid 8.10 installed and uses the serial monkey rt73 driver.

My question is is there anyway I can make networkmanager ignore the one I wish to use in the vmware.  As of right now network is picking up both of them and I can see them when I click on the applet.  I only want netowrkmanager to manage the one I use on the host while ignoring the other one.

Thanks.
