I doubt it, unfortunately. USB support in Linux is still pretty flakey,
I believe. I haven't looked at it in a couple of months, but I haven't
heard of any outstanding success stories.
I think they hope to have USB support pretty well hammered out in time
for the next major kernel release, so you may want to keep an eye on the
Linux USB page:
