I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 with VMWare Fusion 8.5.1

Before upgrading to vmware fusion 8.5.1, everything was ok. Now when I connect the USB device, I can see the following logs in dmesg

[   36.420842] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 2 using ehci-pci
[   36.559698] usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=1f75, idProduct=0916
[   36.559702] usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[   36.559703] usb 1-1: Product: SSK SFD201 USB Device
[   36.559704] usb 1-1: Manufacturer: SSK
[   36.559705] usb 1-1: SerialNumber: xxx

But no device file is created, I've tried to list /dev/sd* but only the local hdd is found.

Any ideas?

Attached output of several commands,

Okay. This is really stupid.

I've removed wireless packages like wireless-regdb iw in the VM, because I don't need it.

However, it also removed packages like linux-image-extra-4.4.0-47-generic, which contains the usb_storage module.

Yeah, the USB is recognized when I reinstall that package and load the usb storage module.
