Manolis, I'm not much into USB myself (don't have the cash for the toys I really want.*grin*) However man hotplug or info hotplug could well be your friend there is a file in /etc/hotplug called blacklist. My understanding is that you can tell hotplug not to react to specific devices here (in this case it would be the device Linux thinks you have I believe you said it was a scanner.) then vmware handles it from there. Since I don't have much in the way of USB here. http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/ Is the website for hotplug more info might be there as well. But my best opinion on this would be that hotplug would be the key since it controls how usb devices are handled.
