Hi, for a complex computer setup I have to share a single USB device among several USB hosts.
I know that this cannot be done with current drivers but want to know whether such an approach is possible at all. Some more details: - the USB hosts are a bunch of laptops whose software cannot be modified - the USB client is an eToken (a smartcard reader + smartcard in one package) and cannot be modified either - between the hosts and the client I have a linux box with multiple programmable USB client ports (think netchip) and a single host controller. What I want is that each of the laptops think they have the etoken directly connected to their USB port. It is sufficient if the translation layer only supports the etoken device and no other generic USB devices. What I want to know is whether such an approach is possible or would this conflict with important USB specs? Regards Robert Schuster
