Is there a hope that the usbip package provided will be usable on
Debian/Ubuntu one day? :-(

Title:
  usbipd requires usbip_common_mod.ko and usbip.ko kernel modules, which
  are not available in any package

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “usbip” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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:
