I am trying to connect multiple USB devices to my Linux guest through the use of a USB hub, however, it seems that the hub is not detected on the guest. In my tests I have noted the following:
- The USB hub works fine if connected directly to the Mac OS.
- The USB hub works fine if connected to a Linux guest with a Windows host.
- The USB hub + connected devices are not registered when connected to the Linux guest (Mac host). There is no change to the output of #lsusb or #dmesg
Which indicates that it is a problem with VirtualBox on Mac hosts. Is there anyway I can overcome this and detect my USB hub + devices on my Linux guest?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

For automatically connecting specific devices create a USB filter :
sudo adduser YOURUSERNAME vboxusers
(if required)
