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 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/900384 Title: usbipd requires usbip_common_mod.ko and usbip.ko kernel modules, which are not available in any package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/900384/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
