 Provided a usb device over a network for another device
 Best done with a [[raspberry_pi|Raspberry pi]]
 
 == Steps ==
 
 First you'll want a working pi with an internet connection. Be sure its
 updated
 
1) sudo apt-get install usbip
  - This is the actual kernel module that will be doing the heavy lifting
2) sudo modprobe usbip_host
  - load the module into the kernel
3) now edit your modules file to add usbip on boot
   {{{
   #file: /etc/modules
   usbip_host
     }}}
4) Find the device you want to share (lsusb). Keep this in mind
5) usbip list -p -l
  - This will list all the usb devices in a way usbip can understand. Find the
    matching busid from above for your device
6) sudo usbip bind --busid=<BUSID>
  - Will bind the usb device to usbip
7) sudo usbipd
  - Starts the usbip daemon. Will display what it is listening on
8) On the client machine, install usbip as well.
9) sudo modprobe vhci-hcd 
  - Load the module for networked usb
  - Be sure that you have USB/IP support enabled compiled into your kernel
10) (Optional) /etc/modules
  - Same as the pi
11) sudo usbip attach -r <PI_IP> -b <BUSID>
  - Binds the usb device 

And thats it! It should work now. This doesn't have to be with a raspberry pi
it can be with any device
