Someone from the linux usb developers must develop a pcap compatilbe api
then get together with the tcpump/pcap/guy people to reserve proper link layer numbers then push the module/pcap-compatilbe usb api into the kernel then push it into ethereal
and then again we would be victorious

Does anyone have any ideas as to what would be required to get USB to work? On Linux, it looks like kernel support would have to be added.

A quick search shows that at least somebody did a project to sniff USB under Linux:

http://www.linux-usb.org/USBMon/

Now, I think it would be best to do this through libpcap. But at least we know where the hooks need to be in the kernel.
