Cross platform support for network attached USB hubs?
- by larsks
I am looking at network-attached USB hubs in order to run licensed software in a virtualized environment when hardware dongles are required.
Are there any solutions that will work with both Linux and Windows? Most of the dedicated devices -- such as the Zonet ZUH2214 or the (oddly expensive) Digi AnywherUSB/2 -- appear to be Windows-only. Linux has the the USB/IP project, for which there appear to be Windows drivers, but the last "News" post on the site was in 2007, so I'm not entirely confident about the viability of the project.
Has anyone out there found a solution that will work well in both environments?
