What do you mean by "better to use host software" ?
Do you suggest that instead of using usbip-win2, I should use the host usbip? The later version will not work for some windows application that requires remote usb access. The standard use case, is a remote dongle server, can be already used now for running these applications in Windows. Currently, it is not possible to run these applications in Wine because usbip support is missing in Wine.
Or do you suggest that usbip support in Wine should be based on the host usbip ? I'd appreciate if this would become possible.
What do you mean that it requires remote usb access?
If the program is trying to access a USB device on the local computer, and you're trying to use usbip to expose a remote USB device as a local device, then host usbip should work too. If the program doesn't work with a local USB device, or doesn't work with host usbip, that's probably because a Wine bug is preventing the program itself from working in some way.
Or does the program specifically look for and expect you to use usbip-win2 somehow?
