VM connection issues about airspyone_firmware HOT 2 CLOSED

Addition: I've managed to get lsusb -v to display the device properties (iManufacturer 1, iProduct 2, iSerial 3) correctly, however after executing airspy_info, the device again doesn't show these properties until reconnection.

So at this point i'm no longer sure this is a firmware or a linux library/software issue.

How i managed to get this working: disconnect/reconnect the device physically. After initial connection, the device may be first active in Windows as "AIRSPY" (device manager). Then connect the device to the VM, execute lsusb -v ("-d 0x1d50:" to select the AirSpy specifically). The output will contain no errors for the device.

Then execute airspy_info or any other airspy_* command, and the output error will appear, after which the device needs to be physically reconnected to work anywhere again.

Issue related to VMWare, workaround described here:
airspy/airspyone_host#40 and in the wiki.
TL;DR: Edit .vmx file, add line
usb.quirks.device0 = "0x1d50:0x60a1 skip-setconfig"

Issue solved.
