The USB/IP project which enables virtual local/remote USB devices, is in the linux kernel, and looks like it could be quite useful


You can read about the USB/IP project and how it enables virtual USB devices remotely at the USB/IP project: http://usbip.sourceforge.net/


I found a tutorial for using USB/IP with Ubuntu here: http://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues...utorial-USB-IP

Wanted to share the info as I had been unaware of it...
