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:
to 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:
is there a command line app like udevadm that will attribute walk these locations and return their attributes?

What VM software are you using? Getting USB pass-thru working varies.

VMWare 6.7.0

the passthru is working just fine. i want to put some dev rules in place for the rtl-sdr dongles. usually i use udevadm to return values needed for usb devices plugged in. but udevadm doesn't work when usb devices are passed thru on vm...i think so, but could be wrong.

i found some bits of info help me out.

executing these commands helped to some degree...
whith the dmesg output seeing the three rtl dongles info at the respective locations mentioned above, i run this:
this grabbed all the info, and more, that i needed to write the udev rules.

may be better options but this worked
