Bug 734752

Actually, it's the other way around - the kernel modules are updated in 12.1, and the userspace package is *ancient.*  You can get the correct userspace tools by installing the kernel-source package in 12.1, then going to /usr/src/linux/drivers/staging/usbip/userspace, running ./autogen.sh, ./configure, make, make install.  You might want to uninstall the usbip package if you do this so that it picks the correct binaries.  You'll need the usual C/C++ compiler and tools to build, plus sysfsutils-devel.  I'm working on getting an updated package built out on my opensuse home project (home:nick_at_seakr:misc).  The version of userspace tools included in 12.1 is 0.1.6 - the version in the kernel tree is labeled 1.1.1.

SuSE folks, please update ASAP - the usbip package included in 12.1 is *worthless.*

Hi,

I had updated usbip package and submitted to factory repository.

https://build.opensuse.org/package/binaries?package=usbip&project=openSUSE%3AFactory&repository=standard

Please kindly have a try the package, thanks!

Package works great on 12.1 - I assume it will be back-ported?

Hi,
Thanks for your kindly reply.

Do you mean will usbip be updated on 12.1 later?
If yes, the updated usbip package was already put in factory repository, in my opinion it will be included in openSUSE later version.

I wanted to make sure because I understand that the factory repository is for future openSuSE releases - e.g. 12.2, 12.3, etc.  I want to make sure that this bug gets fixed for openSuSE 12.1 - the current version of the package in 12.1 is completely, 100% useless, so, in order for this functionality to work properly in 12.1 there needs to be an update for 12.1 to the newer version of the package.  I just want to verify that that is going to be the case, as users should not be forced to update to a later openSuSE release just to get this type of bug fixed.

I got your point and agree with you.
The usbip backport to 12.1 is one of my todo item, thanks!

Thanks, "usbipd -D" works ;-)

But what happened with the program to export the usb devices?
The executable "usbip_bind_driver" is missing in the rpm (same happened with the package for openSUSE 12.2) :-(

Hi,

Thank you for your testing and report.

The usbip_bind_driver had been removed from usbip package
for a while. Some patches has not been merged yet, but
soon.

Please try the following command:
# usbip

             [help] <command> <args>

  attach     Attach a remote USB device
  detach     Detach a remote USB device
  list       List exportable or local USB devices
  bind       Bind device to usbip-host.ko
  unbind     Unbind device from usbip-host.ko
