Set up Qemu&Spice USB Redirection support on Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric).
***************************************************************************************
UPDATE on 10/14/2011. Oops ! Works on final release Ubuntu 11.10 .
I forgot, that Per Hans de Goede :-
Select the options menu entry and make sure that the “auto redirect newly plugged in USB devices” option is checked. After this make sure the vm has keyboard focus (so close the options menu), plug in a new USB device and watch it show up in your vm
***************************************************************************************
I have been working on it for the most recent two weeks debianizing stuff
