we've learned that it will be almost impossible to connect USB devices directly
to the N900 USB port.
An alternative idea came up: USB over IP,
which uses an external computer or special hub in which the devices
are plugged in. The hub forwards all USB IO to the N900.
This solution does already work for Linux and Windows desktops
