Hi,
It appears the reason this was disabled in the Ubuntu kernel configs was
because it is marked EXPERIMENTAL:
config USBIP_CORE
tristate "USB/IP support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on USB && NET && EXPERIMENTAL
default N
---help---
This enables pushing USB packets over IP to allow remote
machines direct access to USB devices. It provides the
USB/IP core that is required by both drivers.
For more details, and to get the userspace utility
programs, please see http://usbip.sourceforge.net/.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will
be called usbip-core.
If unsure, say N.
The Ubuntu Kernel Team's config policy is to disable experimental
options until it is requested they be enabled. Based on the information
requested in this bug, I have enabled the following in the Precise 12.04
kernel:
CONFIG_USBIP_CORE=m
CONFIG_USBIP_HOST=m
CONFIG_USBIP_VHCI_HCD=m
This change should be available in the next upload. Thanks.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed
