[Bug 52081] usbip: error: vhci driver is not loaded

--- Comment #10 from Zebediah Figura <z.figura12 at gmail.com> ---
It doesn't really work like that. Wine does in fact have support for directly
exposing USB devices, so even if there are no host drivers, Windows programs
which want to access the device directly will still work (although you'll
probably have to set up permissions on the host side so that Wine can actually
open them).

Note also that Wine exposes these devices on the "kernel" level, so that
Windows kernel drivers which layer on top of USB devices will still work.

If a bit of software is able to detect a USB device on Windows when using
usbip, but doesn't work on Wine when using a host vhci driver, that's probably
just because something else in Wine is broken that's preventing the USB device
from being enumerated. I'm pretty sure it would fail similarly even if the
usbip vchi driver was working.
