Did you just state 'I don't know'/ 'We will see' in 4 lines ?

USB 2.0 host controllers are hardware compatible the UHCI interface,
spec, I understood some time ago. But, with the existing 1.1 USB drivers,
they will support only USB 1.1 devices.

I don't think USB 2.0 is that important yet. Microsoft doesn't support
it, so the more advanced 1394 bus is more interesting to me. At least
their powermanagment is better, and they have a fullduplex 400 MBps bus,
allowing a few DV videostreams being streamed to harddrives on the same
bus.
