Depending on what you're trying to do, is it feasible for you to use the adapter directly (from) inside your vm(s)?
I have several of these exact adapters (v3.0) and use them (am using one right now on this machine) from within the vm with no problems on WIndows XP/7 and Ubuntu 10.0.4. The Window's vms require the driver to be installed (in the vm), Ubuntu just works... I have never used one from the host side (for security reasons). FYI I haven't tried this on USB 3.0 ports either, I use USB 2.0 ports. I have used this configuration with WS 7.1.5 and WS 9.0.x. Good luck.
