Thanks Adam,

Unfortunately, I couldn't get the preceding to work. I googled for a
couple hours and tried to get some way to do USB passthrough, but
everything I found was both ambiguous and contradicted the other things
on the net.

The following document looked pretty good, but the author kept pulling
unexplained things out of every orifice, so it was impossible to know
how the commands applied to me:

USB passthrough is a pretty complex thing because I have a Void host, a
Devuan guest, by necessity I have a USB hub. There are so many
variables that, without finding a person who really knows how this
stuff works, I could spend days.

Thanks,
