   There are no USB drivers on Milan or Hades. However, these machines have   
   PCI, so the hardware is there. I don't think it's possible to buy   
   USB-cards today that are not USB2... The hardware is not a problem, the   
   problem is that nobody has written a USB-stack and hardware drivers   
   (yet). The problem is the USB stack - this is where 90% of the effort   
   has to be spent. Once the stack is up and running and is capable of   
   loading hardware drivers, it will be "easy" to support a variety of USB   
   interfaces.

   I'm not sure how realistic camera-drivers etc is. These usually requires   
   custom drivers. It's easier and more useful to create drivers for   
   HID-devices and mass storage devices, then you will need only one driver   
   to support all USB drives, one to support all mice etc.
