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,
"qemu-system-arm: -device usb-host,

I don't imagine anybody's tested trying to get USB passthrough to
work on Macs. If it works it will be by happy side effect of the code
written for and tested on Linux happening to work.
It may not help, but it would be useful to try against a newer version
of QEMU, ie 2.1. You'll need to make sure you have the libusb
dev libraries installed so our configure can find them.
