Yep; I've got a generic VIA VT6202 (?) based USB1/USB2 card in my U5 and
it works well for reading CF cards, occasionally talking to my digital
camera and tuning my USB radio (this needed a fix to the radioctl tool,
or maybe even the /dev/radio interface to use sane types).  I haven't
hooked up any USB2 devices to it yet, though, and the USB video camera
I've only ever played with on x86 since there were no drivers and the
only tools I have are a little SDL program that drives/displays it in
a window (which makes it useless on the U5, which is headless).

dmesg snippet below.
