Hi Tom,

It does hang for me too.

I think that the "hanging" problem happens, when you try to
pass-through, both the 00:02.0, and the 00:02.1 (at-least that's what
happened to me in the past), so i guess that because you are just
passing through 00:02.0, you don't get this problem...

Can you try to pass-through 00:02.1 also, and see if it happens to you?
