I have installed the latest version of Raspbian and uname -a gives the following:
Linux mypi 3.6.11+ #541 PREEMPT Sat Sep 7 19:46:21 BST 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux
And I have used these instruction by secretagent.
But when I try modprobe usbip-host the Pi hangs and must be rebooted.
Any ideas, anyone?
It is important to make sure that the version of the kernel you are using and the modules you are compiling are matching. There are no safety nets in place; it will usually just crash if they don't line up.
It might be a good precaution to use the exact same kernel source used to compile the module to compile a new kernel image and replace the existing, though the wait is about 10 hours for build to finish on the rPI and takes >3GB. Offsite build might be the better way to go but I've never tried it.
I'd suspect there's an unfortunate interaction occurring between the less than stellar USB stack of the Pi and the software. You may need to wait a few kernel versions for the software to get better and then try again.
