Can not attach usb device using virsh - qemu

I am trying to attach ipad2 usb device by using virsh from host ubuntu 12.10 to OpenSuse 13, it returns success, but I can not find it on vm, any suggestions?

You may want to attach the USB device with your VM directoly, either use the virt-manager GUI there is a graphical interface to add USB devices), either add line that seems as
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb' managed='yes'>
<source startupPolicy='optional'>
<vendor id='0x03f0'/>
<product id='0x4217'/>
</source>
</hostdev>
<!--- TIMBER !!! this depend upon your USB device and machine would fail
to start if you miss, use the GUI instead! --->

Not getting expected throughput on Cisco ASA 5506-X

I have a Cisco ASA 5506-X running version 9.9(2). I recently upgraded my internet to gigabit speeds (in reality about 750 - 850 Mbps). However, my ASA was only allowing throughput of about 200Mbps. I thought that the ASA would allow throughput up to 750Mbps.
Troubleshooting steps:
Reset ASA and setup basic config.
Tested internet speed and received somewhere near 200Mbps.
Disabled FirePower service and tested speed again to get near 300Mbps
Connected PC directly to cable modem and was able to get speeds of 800Mbps - 850Mbps (three attempts).
Re-connected ASA and still get only 300Mbps (maybe 310).
Can you help me figure out why I'm not getting better throughput?

Fiware cloud new instances, statuses and connection

How to create FiWare instance and connect it to internet?
I like the idea and I have big plans on using this infrastructure, but...
I've trying to create instance and make ssh connection to it for some time now.
Created key-pair
Created security group (22,3306,1)
Created instance ubuntu 14 (also tried others)
Also tried ubuntu 12, POI and others already
Added node-int-net-01 and node-int-noinet-net-02 to it when creating
Also tried already with 1 network only
Allocated floating IP
Associated it with the local IP that came from "node-int-net-01"
Statuses:
Instance: ACTIVE, Power State RUNNING
"node-int-net-01" networks in list: shared-subnet 192.168.192.0/18 Yes ACTIVE UP
Inside "node-int-net-01":
Network: Admin State: DOWN, Shared: No, External Network: No
Subnet: DHCP and all ok
Ports: Status: BUILD, Admin State: UP
The confusing parts are (for clue, don't have to answer those if we have solution):
How can network be EXTERNAL-SHARED-ACTIVE-UP and DOWN-NOT_SHARED-NO_EXTERNAL at the same time - perhaps there's an error
What means Port status: BUILD, i mean it must have been building the port like 3 days already. Should i build there something, is it an order or status? Perhaps it means BUILT or BUILDING instead.
What means instance ACTIVE? Is it still active (busy) and i should wait? Or it can be actively used already? From VM Display I never saw it going to unix prompt>, is it kind of fiware itself using this telnet instance? I rather saw things like
"request error",
"connection timeout",
"socket.error",
"Error 101 Network is unreachable".
"cloud-init-nonet [13:31]: waiting 120 seconds for network device"
numerous black-screens and never ending Booting from hard-disk
from Instance log saw endless: "Waiting for network configuration", but that one was cured
Thou i saw "localhost login prompt, but as i only created PEM, then
cant imagine what to do with it - where do i get root/pwd? But i guess it was some error that it ended up there.
The latest status from Instance\Log is:
cloud-init-nonet[4.52]: static networking is now up
* Starting configure network device[74G[ OK ]
* Starting Mount network filesystems[74G[ OK ]
* Stopping Mount network filesystems[74G[ OK ]

For a ping and ssh i get: "Destination Host Unreachable" and "No route to host"
Also tried allocating floating IP with "federation" pool, but with that IP i just got time-outs for ping and ssh

fiware help
stackoverflow
Followed also the steps in this slideshow http://www.slideshare.net/fermingalan/developing-your-first-application-using-fi-ware-20130903
http://cosmos.lab.fi-ware.org/cosmos-gui/ seems to be down
EDIT: can use this one (need to use https and accept bad cert)
http://forge.fiware.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/fiware/index.php/FIWARE.OpenSpecification.Data.BigData_R4#Basic_concepts
http://catalogue.fiware.org/enablers/bigdata-analysis-cosmos/documentation - no info about it neither.
Any ideas? Perhaps there is an UI (other than the web page at https://cloud.lab.fiware.org/ that seems to be in early beta) for using FiWare (that can do all the "anyway-mandatory" steps for users (developers)?
Maybe the problem is that I'm a software developer not network administrator, and perhaps this interface is meant for linux network andministrators.
The message "Error 101 Network is unreachable" shows that there was a problem in the VM network. node-int-net-01 is the shared network to be joined with the public network, while node-int-noinet-net-02 is to be joined with a network to use VPN. You shouldn't use both networks in the same VM, just you should use node-int-net-01.
The code messages like BUILD, ACTIVE and so on, are codes belonging to Openstack.
Regarding ping, you should open the icmp port in the security port to allow it.
Anyway, if you continue having problems, you can send a mail to FIWARE Lab support fiware-lab-help#lists.fiware.org, indicating your concrete data.

Issues flashing a STM32F Discovery using Eclipse under Ubuntu

I'm using Eclipse under Ubuntu 14.04 to work on an STM32F4DISCOVERY I have set the system to flash my blinky project to the Discovery. After building the project I go to Run-> External Tools and hit Run to down load the code to flash but I get the following message on the Console window:

Did anyone succeed to use freenect on fedora?
Are you using appropriate AC adaptor to connect the sensor to PC?!
I had a similar issue and I kept trying every thing for days, and finally the issue turned to be from the kinect AC adaptor... I tried it with the official windows sdk and developer toolkit, when I attempted one of the example codes the issue persists to appear but with a clear message asking to plug the power cord in, though the adaptor is brand new!!
I searched for some information a bout the AC adaptor and it seems that there is a problem with the adaptor, and most importantly the Kinect manual states that any unoriginal adaptors may cause the device to fail - also the manual says that original AC adaptor power output is 12V-1.1A while the one I have is rated 12V-1.08A (no big deal but who knows)

I've been installing multiple versions of ubunutu over years and now I better understand why I faced always problems with wifi configuration on these different baselines : Debian root of course.
 Issue
Now on Debian 7.4 :
The Broadcom BCM4313 driver is not loaded by default (not free product) for my wifi card. This is stated thru the UNCLAIMED declaration when looking at the network hardware status excerpt :
sudo lshw -c network
*-network UNCLAIMED

Unclaimed means : no driver found (no kernel association)
So I installed the driver located in the non-free backports by adding this target into the local packages repository /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
and install :
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firmware-brcm80211
sudo modprobe brcm80211

sudo shutdown now -r

No wifi network is detected and of course I can't connect using wlan0
it doesn't work.
I found informations here regarding WPA2/PSK wifi configuration on debian :

so I added this setup to my interfaces file an got :

Note that my required WPA2/PSK AES key length is 26 chars as requested on my other PC that connect successfully to my wifi router
Any idea ? it's boring wasting hours on the same problem again ..
Help welcome ...
Wrong wifi kernel module selected
I should have installed the brcmsmac module instead of the brcm80211 one. The latter is the Squeeze version kernel module. Wheezy needs the brcmsmac module as mentioned here
Althouhg the package is named brcm80211 the kernel module to load for Wheezy is brcmsmac instead of brcm80211 for the Squeeze version
more detail in this StackoverFlow post and a summary is also available here
Interfaces
I also set the /etc/network/interfaces conf file to only
$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
this seems to allow Network-Manager to take any discovered interfaces in account.
Everything's OK. Wifi up and running now.
.. And so much wasted time for a stupid version error !
