I'm running the latest official Ubuntu build of VirtualBox (4.1.12), with Windows 8 running as the guest OS. I have a Windows app that works with a card reading HID device, but it's not detected by the guest OS at all.

I've installed the USB extensions, guest additions and set my udev rules accordingly (my own linux app is able to access the device), but no joy.

Does anyone know how to get this working?
