Title:
  Mac OS X cannot passthrough USB device to guest

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using Mac OS 10.9.4 with qemu-system-arm installed from brew
  (version 1.7.1) and verified with qemu-system-x86_64. I'm trying to
  pass a Ralink 5370 WiFi USB dongle to my guest system, it appears in
  my system profiler as:

  802.11 n WLAN:

    Product ID: 0x5370
    Vendor ID:  0x148f
    Version:     1.01
    Serial Number:      1.0
    Speed:      Up to 480 Mb/sec
    Manufacturer:       Ralink
    Location ID:        0x1d110000 / 6
    Current Available (mA):     500
    Current Required (mA):      450

  Using the docs, I'm passing "-usb -device 
usb-host,vendorid=0x148f,productid=0x5370" and getting this error back:
  "qemu-system-arm: -device usb-host,vendorid=0x148f,productid=0x5370: 
Parameter 'driver' expects device type"
