 Wireshark can snoop usb traffic. It is easy and gives you all the
 information you
 probably need.
 
 There is also a similar thing for windows. Can't remember the name.

Plz check http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/

Neat. I was thinking of the built-in wifi in laptops, myself.

Nice! I've thought snooping could help with writing drivers since I
started using Linux, but Linux had drivers for all of my hardware back
then anyway and the ISA bus was just starting to go out of style. ;)
Anyway it's funny you should post this now. Just half an hour ago I was
thinking about patching a Linux driver module to record everything it
does and every command it receives; snooping with driver help.

Perhaps it's a faulty assumption that all PC24E-H-FC cards are created
equal. I've seen them branded many different ways.
