You do indeed need special hardware.  If you've got a PXA-based system
(like the Zaurus) then you're already set.  If you've got a regular PC
then you need to add something extra.

I've got a Netchip 2280 board (http://www.netchip.com).  It's a PCI card 
with a high-speed USB device interface, and there's a driver for it in the 
USB gadgets directory (net2280).

And yes, it is very useful.  About the only aspect I can criticize is that 
SET_ADDRESS and CLEAR_FEATURE(halt) requests are handled in the hardware 
and aren't exposed by the driver -- maybe the hardware doesn't even notify 
the driver -- so they don't show up in the system log.

David, is it possible for the net2280 driver to log these requests or to 
pass them on to the gadget driver (in addition to carrying them out)?
