Hi,

passthrough of the full Adapter shold be possible using the following patched (includes http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2039030) version.
This fixes the PSOD issue. If you have a HP server, you should create a custom HP image and include the patched esxi-base.
Kind regards

des2013, the problem is not that we are getting a purple screen or anything.
the problem is that if you set any (pci or onboard) usb controller in vmdirect passthrough mode and reboot your esxi server, the usb controller will revert back to normal mode (so no passthrough).
and since as far as i know usb pci devices should work this is still a bug and not a feature...
