Subject: [ale] USB over IP

Anyone using any commercial USB over IP hardware?  I was planning on using the Digi AnywhereUSB, but there are no Linux drivers.

I have implemented the USBIP project on hardware with success, but it is flaky and I really do not have time to modify the client software to handle connection losses gracefully.   After a connection loss the server side will not allow the client to reconnect.  Says something else is already connected.  :P   That project is cool, just not ready for primetime!
