   I think there is one USB device that is supported on 2.5.x kernels now.  I 
will be looking into this soon because I need to get some sort of device on 
my laptop for development there.

  That's a Hauppauge device.  Don't waste your time.  It is very different 
than regular isa/pci bttv based devices.  Someone has been working on the 
driver for a long time but the encoding system is proprietary and they have 
not got past ~4 frames/sec for video since I last checked.
