I have a huawei E3372 modem which is running as a USB serial modem on a physical Ubuntu 16.04 host. Now I would like to get in running on a VM running in Esxi 6.5, but somehow I'm not able to connect it. Esxi sees the usb stick if I run lsusb in the cli, but in the web GUI I can not see the USB modem nor add it to a VM.

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1058:25ee Western Digital Technologies, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0781:5583 SanDisk Corp. Ultra Fit
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0e0f:8003 VMware, Inc.
Is there any official solution for that problem? I have searched the internet, but couldn't find any suitable solution.
Many thanks!
