if you dig deep into the specs of the routers, you can find that a very
small segment already has usb ports to connect the motes, (the Linksys NSLU2
is a prime example, wich also runs Linux by the way) and also remember that
you have the c/c++ sdk with a serial forwarder written in C
it's just needs some tweaking

footnote
Crossbow sells the NSLU2 as the NB100 Stargate Netbridge (
