Nice to see that they have actually fixed quite a lot of Linux-related ‘issues’, this time..

I’m running VMWare Workstation 12.5.2 with kernel 4.8 (Debian). However, I’m not able to use any USB device anymore.

Starting vmware-usbarbitrator –info -f manually responses

USBArb: UsbArbPipeConnected: Connected to client, socket:11
USBArb: Version 7 is not supported.
USBArb: Closing client, error:71

Are there any hint to bring USB working back?
