Ugly ... what I've seen with USB and worked with it so far is that it is a large stack to drive. PCMCIA is a joke in comparison since once you get the controller setup you are just doing normal I/O. USB is nothing like that. Also there are two types of controllers. I like USB, in that it doesn't eat interrupts for each device. Devices can be smart. It frees up pccard slots on my laptop. BTW FreeBSD 4.0 release candidate supports 99% of all USB Ethernet adapters.
