Hi,

I need to virtualize a linux box which is connected to a weather station
ovvia usb. Unfortunately I won't have USB access from a virtual machine.

Hence I need to get an ethernet to usb converter which lets me access a
usb device over the network. Occasionally I've seen hardware converters
like this, but currently I cannot find any which is compatible with
linux (i.e. has drivers for debian/linux).

Thanks for comments and tips

regards geir

why don't you put a sbc running linux w/ usb at the remote location?

Should be possible. For instance VMWare offers an virtualised
environment for guests to have access to the USB ports of the host. This
is done with passthrough drivers.

Google "usb passthrough linux" and whatever virtualisation tech you are
using.
