v3.17-rc3 gained (well, it was present before in staging) an interesting new feature:
config USBIP_CORE tristate "USB/IP support" depends on USB && NET ---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. Hence USB is no longer limited to Ataris with NetUSBee, but can be used "by proxy" on all network-enabled m68k machines. Have fun with webcams, TV-cards, ... Do you think we should enable (modular, of course) USB and its myriads of drivers in all defconfigs now?
