The author (Brad Parker) apparently has the current usb-net-host driver
working nicefully on a PC with 2.2.14 + the USB backport patch. The
complain he got recently was about NFS not working reliably over it... So
I think it is promising.

I would recommend trying the usb-net-host driver and the current
sa1100_usbd module with a PC running 2.2.14+USB patches before anything
else. I personally got pings flow in both directions without a glitch on
a 2.4.0-test9 host PC, but the PC's kernel just blow out on the first
telnet attempt. My next step is to reproduce the author's setup with a
2.2.14 kernel.
