Description

@comsyspro

Not getting a Wacom Cintiq 16 device to work. (invalid configuration descriptor). Is this a server side usbipd issue or client side usbip win2?

Here are the tracelog files (from usbip win2):

Can you see whats the issue?

Help from chatGPT:
Thanks — that confirms the issue clearly:

“Invalid Configuration Descriptor”

means the OS received malformed or incomplete data during USB enumeration. The device likely fails at the GET_DESCRIPTOR(CONFIGURATION) stage.


🧠 What’s Going Wrong

After the device responds to GET_DESCRIPTOR(DEVICE), the next expected step is:

GET_DESCRIPTOR(CONFIGURATION)

But instead of receiving a valid configuration descriptor, Windows (or Linux) is:

  • Getting corrupt/incomplete data
  • Getting a zero-length or malformed descriptor
  • Or timing out entirely

This results in Device Manager displaying:

⚠️ "Invalid Configuration Descriptor"
