Yes and no. There's a bug in the USB drivers that prevents some devices from 
properly communicating with certain USB Chipsets. We tried to move a USB 
printer from one server to another and it no longer works. 

I also have a 128MB USB key that doesn't work with Linux and doesn't use 
encryption. So far I have tried several different systems and it still 
doesn't communicate properly.
