Hi, I was playing with the usbip found in Linux kernel 2.6.33-rc4. I did the following steps: 1. modprobe usbip 2. connected a Labtec Webcam 2200 (093a:2626) to the computer 3. usbip_bind_driver --usbip 2-1 Then I get the INFO message in dmesg: [11776.407429] usbip_common_mod: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned. [11776.460240] usbip_common_mod: usbip common driver1.0 [11776.569525] usbip: module is from the staging directory, the quality is unknown, you have been warned.
