[nflug] Blackberry 8300 Ubuntu

[Cyber Source]

First make sure Linux is seeing it ok "lsusb". Then make sure you have 
the usb controller installed for your vm. You can do this through the 
gui if you have vmware or if you have vmplayer, you can edit the *.vmx 
file directly making sure you have these
usb.present = "TRUE"
usb.autoConnect.device0 = ""

Then make sure under the devices tab (vmplayer)  that it is connected to 
(check box next to the rimm device that will show up)
