2011-07-22USB: add usb network redirection supportHans de Goede
This patch adds support for a usb-redir device, which takes a chardev as a communication channel to an actual usbdevice using the usbredir protocol. Compiling the usb-redir device requires usbredir-0.3 to be installed for the usbredir protocol parser, usbredir-0.3 also contains a server for redirecting usb traffic from an actual usb device. You can get the 0.3 release of usbredir here: http://people.fedoraproject.org/~jwrdegoede/usbredir-0.3.tar.bz2 (getting a more formal site for it is a WIP) Example usage: 1) Start usbredirserver for a usb device: sudo usbredirserver 045e:0772 2) Start qemu with usb2 support + a chardev talking to usbredirserver + a usb-redir device using this chardev: qemu ... \ -readconfig docs/ich9-ehci-uhci.cfg \ -chardev socket,id=usbredirchardev,host=localhost,port=4000 \ -device usb-redir,chardev=usbredirchardev,id=usbredirdev Signed-off-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>
