The USB stack is complete in this regard. The part missing is the USB Mass
Storage driver. The driver is present in the Haiku tree and can be built for
BeOS R5, but it has not yet been ported to the new SCSI subsystem under Haiku.
There is already work going on in that regard, you can follow the
corresponding ticket here: http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/1106
