you have to write your own "remote" version of USBHUB / usbgccp (which is
root enumerated). instead of sending URB traffic to local usb controller,
you encapusalte the URB into your network protocol and send it over the
network. the other side (the remote one), takes the packet and then sends
it to the controller on the remote host. this also means that you cannot
allow the remote host to install the normal driver for the driver, you have
to install your "remoting" driver installed of the class driver.
