[gentoo-user] usbip

[William Kenworthy]

I am playing with usbip to export an afatech dvb usb stick to a VM.  It
appears to work up until it tries to load the firmware (from the vm) and
fails.  Google i'snt helping except very old messages saying there are
problems with resetting and firmware loading.

Can someone confirm that it is possible to load firmware onto a usb
device using usbip?  The device does work locally on its host.


From dmesg in the VM.
