It's been some time since I've played with my Omegas. I too was having this exact issue. Doing it manually using Lazar's steps solved this problem.

@ArgusR said:

@Levi-Roberts So the package usbip_1.1.1-2_ar71xx.ipk worked but the usbip-client_1.1.1-2_ar71xx.ipk didn't?

That is correct.

@ArgusR I appreciate the help. That got me up and going for a bit.

Got this error when trying to install the usbip-client however:

Configuring kmod-usbip-client.
failed to find a module named vhci-hcd
Configuring usbip-client.
Collected errors:

• satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for usbip-client:
• kernel (= 3.18.20-1-7bed08fa9c06eb8089e82c200340ec66) *

And:

$ opkg --force-depends install vhci-hcd
Unknown package 'vhci-hcd'.

@ArgusR Aha. Okay, I misunderstood that you were able to get it running. I suppose I can be a test-bunny meanwhile.

See my edit again for the result on trying to install those packages from the OpenWrt wiki.

Update:
Just tried this but I'm getting an Unknown package error. What am I missing? Are you using a custom build or something? I've tried with and without -force-depends

$ opkg install kmod-usb-ohci
Unknown package 'kmod-usb-ohci'.
Collected errors:

• opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-usb-ohci.

And here's my uname in case it's helpful:

$ uname -a
Linux Omega-1848 3.18.23 #1 Fri Jan 15 18:15:53 UTC 2016 mips GNU/Linux

Update again:
Issuing opkg update seems to have fixed my issue although I just did this earlier. No idea what happened there.

Not having any luck installing usbip-server or usbip-client though. Perhaps outlining the steps you used to install usbip would be helpful. Thanks!

Running:
$ opkg install -force-depends http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09/ar71xx/generic/packages/usbip_1.1.1-2_ar71xx.ipk

Results in:

@Boken-Lin Thanks for the update. I appreciate the transparency. Perhaps it's more my fault for not keeping up to date on your blog. However this is just one of the many products I backed, so keeping up with dozens of them is rather difficult and time consuming.

Thanks for sharing your update with us! I was actually just playing with this idea yesterday. I assumed I was going to have to compile USB/IP from source, which is why I was looking into compiling a custom kernel. What I gather from your posts is that I don't need to do that. Very cool! I'll try to follow your steps this evening and post my results.

@Sawyer-McBride Closed beta to whom? I was under the impression that I'd be able to try my Onion Omega that I backed on kickstarter.. Just got it out of the box to play with and now you're telling me I don't really have access to it except through SSH and such?
