Yep, VirtualBox has a good support for USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 as well. The only
drawback that it is not straightforward to set up the permissions correctly.
But once you done that it works like charm.

One more thing on this: I am using VmWare in my office and VirtualBox at
home - would never go for VmWare if I could make the decision. Only the
snapshot handling is nicer and more mature in VmWare, otherwise VirtualBox
is better in every sence including resource handling.
