USB device controller round up

USB, oh why aren't you easier to use?

Here's a short list of glue logic chips to make USB easier to use.
* Elan Digital: http://www.emc.com.tw/twn/pc_usbm_ds.asp
* NETCHIP: http://www.plxtech.com/products/net2000/
* Future: http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/FT8U232AM.htm

Important update on the FTDI chip: no speaky like a mouse. Their knowledgebase isn't linkable but here's the quote:
Our devices do not return the correct USB device descriptors to be USB HID class or USB Mass Storage class. It may be possible to write a filter driver that will make our chip appear to be a HID or mass storage class device, but to do this would involve a lot of work.
