SOLVED: is usbip usb redirector working for anyone?

I am looking for USB redirector, and naturally tried usbip package. So far, cannot make it work:

#usbipd --daemon
# ps -ef | grep usbip
root     16722     1  0 22:28 ?        00:00:00 usbipd --daemon
# lsusb
...
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 05da:6080 Microtek International, Inc. 
...
# usbip list -l
...
 - busid 4-3 (05da:6080)
   Microtek International, Inc. : unknown product (05da:6080)
# usbip --debug bind --busid=4-3
usbip: debug: usbip.c:141:[run_command] running command: `bind'
usbip: debug: sysfs_utils.c:17:[write_sysfs_attribute] error opening attribute /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbip-host/match_busid
usbip: debug: utils.c:47:[modify_match_busid] failed to write match_busid: No such file or directory
usbip: error: unable to bind device on 4-3

There seems to be some driver support required for this thing to work, because I do not have /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbip-host. I tried usbip-linux-next-git from AUR, but it won't compile. Anyone knows where this driver is?

while we are on the subject, are there alternative usb re-directors available, which I could use to share usb device with remote windows machine?
