Comment 0 for bug 900384

I'm on Kubuntu oneiric (11.10), using usbip 0.1.7-3 and kernel linux-image-3.0.0-13-generic.

I'm trying to set up USB/IP to share a USB-only printer/scanner over the LAN. However, whenever I try to start the demon, it gives the error message that the usbip_common_mod.ko and usbip.ko kernel modules are required:

root@curie:~# usbipd -D
usbip err: stub_driver.c: 33 (open_sysfs_stub_driver) usbip_common_mod.ko and usbip.ko must be loaded
** ERROR **: driver open failed
Trace/breakpoint trap

The package description of usbip says:
" USB/IP requires kernel support which is included in Linux
 kernels 2.6.28 or newer."

Unfortunately, I can't find a package that provides those kernel module.

I have also installed the usbip-source package, but
(1) its /usr/src/modules/usbip/src/README file says:
    "For newer kernels ( >=2.6.28 ), try linux-staging code!"
and (2) trying to build it with m-a also fails:
