I have been running VMWare Player 6.x 64bit on Ubuntu 14.04 with an OmniKey USB smart card reader connected which has been working flawlessly. Yesterday I discovered the new VMWare Player 7 and installed it. It worked but did not recognize my smart card reader although it was present to the host as usual. Dealing around with several USB settings did not help and only switching back to 6.x resolved the problem. Perhaps there is a bug in the new version. Or has anyone any hints?
