So I don't want to talk about a hardware problem yet. ;)
There are various success and fail stories of putting USB PCI cards in Ultra 5's. I once heard that U5's only like PCI 2.1 cards and not 2.2 (see e.g. http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2007/12/msg00012.html). Don't know if it's true. You might try a different USB card.
