Ability to connect WSL to remote USB interfaces with Digi Anywhere USB
Problem: need to test embedded devices located in a lab, while using WSL2. The lab has Digi's AnywhereUSB devices.
- cannot use USBIPD (it does not recognize the remote hub as a usb hub)
- cannot use Digi's debian package on WSL
- cannot export serial ports directly from Windows11 to WSL
Describe the solution you'd like A standard way to be able to use kernel drivers and, hopefully, some of the well-known drivers available as modules. and/or A way to fix USBIPD to recognize remote hubs or at least remote ports or remote devices.
Describe alternatives you've considered Tried to "make" Digi's AnywhereUSB RealPort debian package, it fails on WSL Tried connecting the usb port from windows to WSL, usbipd fails. Tried mapping a serial port directly, it fails (the remote device is an FTDI cable and it cannot map the serial port to one that WSL sees directly).
Additional context Win11, WSL2, Ubuntu - attempting to use a remote usb-to-serial FTDI cable connected to a Digi AnywhereUSB remote USB hub. Port connects fine to the win11 host, just not to Linux.
