06:00.0 is a pci card - hardware key that is used as a license in an windows application. I am trying to get rid of the old pc that this card resides in and set up a virtualbox guest with access to this pci card.
I have read that it is possible with virtualbox 4.1.0 onwards ("pci passthrough").
However, virtualbox whine's when i startup the guest vm

and I want to try and 'release' the card from the host OS entirely. I'm not sure If that would help though, since I wouldn't be able to match the card's address on the host to one in the guest...
However, is it possible to disable selectively some utilisations of the same module?
