[Bug 36074] Lack of /proc/bus/usb/devices breaks VMWare

[Ross Burton]

Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36074

Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
VMWare monitors /proc/bus/usb/devices to find USB devices and connect them into the child OS.  It doesn't use sysfs or anything else, so the removal of the usbfs on /proc/bus/usb breaks the use of all USB devices in VMWare.

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'linux-image-2.6.15-18-686'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
