For newer kernels ( >=2.6.28 ), try linux-staging code! This directory contains the source code of usbip drivers for mainline kernel. [How to make USB/IP drivers] 1. cd $(top)/drivers/{version}/ 2. make KSOURCE=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.20 KSOURCE is the directory that your kernel was built. 3. If succeed, usbip_common_mod.ko, vhci-hcd.ko and usbip.ko are built. 4. Copy these kernel modules to client and server hosts. 5. Don't forget to make USB/IP tools. See $(top)/src/README. [Tips] Read http://usbip.wiki.sourceforge.net/how-to-debug-usbip . If you want to see a lot of debug messages, make KSOURCE=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.15 DEBUG=y It is also a good idea to recompile your kernel with CONFIG_USB_DEBUG and CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG flags. To disable debug output temporaly, write 0 to usbip_debug. If you use ZSH, echo 0 >| /sys/bus/platform/drivers/vhci_hcd/vhci_hcd/usbip_debug echo 0 >| /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbip/*/usbip_debug
