Well, if we're going to brag.. :-)
Add to my list a 250Mb zip drive, which I've been using since
2.3.40-something.  Support in the current kernels is rock-solid, and in
my opinion, it runs slightly faster than in Windows.
Also have a Philips webcam.  It uses a driver that was originally
binary-only (the author signed an NDA with Philips to get at the
compression routines), but the core has been split out, and is in the
main kernel tree.  There's still a seperate compression module to get
higher framerates and image sizes.
Finally, I plugged an SMC USB ethernet adaptor in the other day, and was
incredibly surprised when it Just Worked.

hotplug rocks!  It automatically detects the addition or removal of all
of my USB devices, and loads the right modules without me having to
think about it.  Installing hotplug should be the first thing you do if
you want to play with USB.
