getting attributes from usb devices passed thru to linux VM
by kdleoSl from LinuxQuestions.org on (#578NN)
OS: kali 2020.2 VM
wanting to get the device info from the rtl_sdr dongles plugged into a usb2.0 hub. the hub is plugged into the vmware server and passed thru to the kali os. the dongles are working fine.
when a usb device is plugged into my notebook, i just execute something like this:
Code: sudo udevadm info --name=/dev/usb/hiddev0 --attribute-walkto get the dongle/device attributes.
but on this kali VM there is no /dev/usb/hiddev0 or some id for "rtl-sdr-dongle" under /dev/usb/?.
from searching through dmesg i find these locations for the three rtl-sdr usb dongles:
Code: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/0000:02:01.0/usb1/1-1/
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/0000:02:01.0/usb1/1-2/
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/0000:02:01.0/usb1/1-3/is there a command line app like udevadm that will attribute walk these locations and return their attributes?
