USB Passthrough (FN 11.2-U3)

[Anthony F]

I am trying to passthrough a USB controller to a Windows VM. I've previously setup the VM using the web gui interface.
I've followed the directions listed at https://github.com/pr1ntf/iohyve/wiki/USB-3.0-PCI-Controller-Pass-through and http://baitisj.blogspot.com/2018/01/iohyve-bhyve-usb-controller-passthrough.html

iohyve cannot find the VM, and I understand it is due to how the web gui interacts with bhyve directly, so the iohyve commands for the passthrough fail. Is there anyway to alter the bhyve config for the VM?
Are there any other options? I am trying to passthrough a USB Sentinel license dongle.

Did you find a solution for this?

Nothing that works with the web interface.
I'm considering trying to launch the VM using bhyve and bhyvectl with a script, that may allow for the bhyve commands that are required.
I could do that for iohyve, but I'd still need to make iohyve aware of the VM somehow, which looks like I'll need to recreate the VM using iohyve.

Bump

Finally got around to looking at this with Bhyvectl. It cannot see any of my VMs that have been created through the GUI.
Is there an issue here where both iohyve and bhyvectl are not aware of any VM created through the GUI?
