I know that Alexander Eichner has already = working USB support since some time. I was also told that the only possible= way of getting a PUEL version with USB support is if a company is interest= ed in it. So that will probably cost some money. But if you are actually in= terested in it please ask the virtualbox people from oracle about it becaus= e I don't even know how much money they want for it. -- Bernhard Fr=C3=B6hlich http://www.bluelife.at/
