NAS326 USBIP problem

I would like to ask for your help.
We have a NAS326, we successfully installed Debian on it. Everything works fine on it (Samba, minidlna). I wanted to install an HP135a multifunction printer. Printing was successfully set. But the scanner doesn't work. Meanwhile, I read about the USB over IP function. I have successfully installed USBIP from repo. But when I give it the modprobe usbip_host command, I get an error message:
modprobe: FATAL: Module usbip_host not found in directory /lib/modules/6.1.8-mvebu-tld-1
If I read correctly, this means that this module is not in the kernel.
What can be done in such a case?
Thank you for your help.

It is true. USBIP is not in the kernel yet. I will make sure that it will be in the next release 6.2.x (probably about 3,4 weeks from now).

In the mean time I'm building and testing the 6.2.x kernel so will have the usbip_host module available soon. If you are eager to see it working, I will upload the module file before the release.

Here is the usbip modules in a tarball usbip-6.2.0-mvebu-tld-1.tar

This tarball contains 3 files

usbip-core.ko
usbip-host.ko
vhci-hcd.ko

sha256
9b3b90dfa393117ec09eb8051a8b6133553f95386e8f8466c5dee59124309161

Make them available:

mkdir /lib/modules/6.2.0-mvebu-tld-1/kernel/drivers/usb/usbip
cd /lib/modules/6.2.0-mvebu-tld-1/kernel/drivers/usb/usbip
tar xf usbip-6.2.0-mvebu-tld-1.tar

And then modprobe usbip-host.

Is the version number difference not a problem?
modules/6.1.8-mvebu-tld-1 -> 6.2.0-mvebu-tld-1

Yes it was a typo!

mkdir /lib/modules/6.1.8-mvebu-tld-1/kernel/drivers/usb/usbip
cd /lib/modules/6.1.8-mvebu-tld-1/kernel/drivers/usb/usbip
tar xf usbip-6.2.0-mvebu-tld-1.tar

I get an error message:
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module usbip-core.ko: Invalid parameters

OK. I guess this shortcut does not work if the module was changed recently from 6.1.x to 6.2.x

I'll see if I can recompile 6.1.8.

Instead of manually insmod or modprobe, have you tried starting the userspace usbip to see it can be loaded automtically?

Hi bodhi !
In the meantime, I tested usbip.
daemon mode ok
I can't bind. There is an error message:
usbip -d bind -b 4-1.2 --force
usbip: debug: usbip.c:129:[run_command] running command: `bind'
usbip: debug: sysfs_utils.c:18:[write_sysfs_attribute] error opening attribute /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbip-host/match_busid
usbip: debug: utils.c:38:[modify_match_busid] failed to write match_busid: No such file or directory
usbip: error: unable to bind device on 4-1.2
i tried NAS -> PC mode
it sees the pen drive plugged into the PC normally.
however, attach stops with an error message
usbip list -r x.x.x.x

traxdata,

I don't understand your post. Did you copy the modules andn then run usbip user space? after that, what is the output of

lsmod

OK so the modules were not loaded. It won't work. You should wait until I release kernel 6.2.x.
