Re: [RFC PATCH 1/1] Add a usbredir kernel module to remotely connect USB devices over IP.

I've parked some working code, and I wanted to leave a pointer to it to
end this thread.

That is, the sense was that usbredir was not appropriate for the linux
kernel, because Intel was working on a driver implementing the Media
Agnostic USB standard, and having a proliferation of drivers didn't make
sense.

Stephanie and Sean of Intel tell me that they continue to progress on
the ma-usb driver, so that all seems reasonable to me.

However, due to time and customer pressure, I made the usbredir kernel
module, and a set of associated utilities, work reasonably well for a
small set of use cases.

I've submitted that as an out of tree module build to the spice-devel
mailing list. [1]

It works reasonably well, and may benefit someone else that cannot wait
for ma-usb.

I felt it would be a courtesy to end this thread with this pointer;
forgive me if it's unwanted noise.

Cheers,

Jeremy
