As I said in the original post, my plans for the USB stack are not yet
fully formed.  It might never come to market, or it might, depending
upon interest and other factors.

A USB analyzer can tell you what's happening on the bus as it sees
it--it can't tell you what's wrong when you tickle the USB protocol
engine on the 214x.

USB has some nice features in that power is provided to the adapter.
POE is a contender, but POE isn't readily available.  Ethernet has its
own problems, such as setting the device address (for instance).
