If you want to connect a #USB device across a #TCP/IP network, you can use #usbip to make that happen.

There’s a few moving parts and it doesn’t support #hotplugging.

So I wrote a tool that takes care of this. It implements scripts for both the client and the server and uses native usbip under the hood, so all your other tools should continue to work as expected.

Enjoy!

    Interesting! What would be some good use cases for this?

      I’m using this to connect my CAT cable and USB sound card wirelessly from my radio to my workstation.
