v3.17-rc3 gained (well, it was present before in staging) an interesting new

This enables pushing USB packets over IP to allow remote
machines direct access to USB devices. It provides the
USB/IP core that is required by both drivers.
For more details, and to get the userspace utility
programs, please see <http://usbip.sourceforge.net/>.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will
be called usbip-core.
If unsure, say N.
Hence USB is no longer limited to Ataris with NetUSBee, but can be used
"by proxy" on all network-enabled m68k machines.
Nice ... that's something I have been looking for occasionally.
Have fun with webcams, TV-cards, ...
Do you think we should enable (modular, of course) USB and its myriads of
drivers in all defconfigs now?
I would not go quite that far. Test a few things like USB storage
first, perhaps.
Cheers,
Michael

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
