That is normal.  Note that the configuration descriptor is requested
twice:  Once with a buffer large enough to see the wTotalLength field.
and then again with a buffer large enough for the whole descriptor.

Looks more like a bug in the qemu pcap code, probably have to set some
flag to indicate the setup section doesn't contain valid data instead
of just leaving it all blank.

Frame 55 is probably the problematic one.  Look at the timestamps.  The
device seems to not answer, then after a while macos seems to try reset
the device.

Also the fedora trace has the bulk transfer data so wireshark can decode
usb-storage commands and the scsi command wrapped inside.  That is not
the case in the macos trace.  Not sure whenever that is another bug in
the pcap code.  It could also indicate the bug in the ohci emulation
which in turn causes macos fail ...

Does an emulated usb stick work with macos?

take care,
