The irony of getting this message while doing a buildworld for my m0n0 
image doesn't escape me.

The core of my point was that USB would be easy to add to m0n0wall if 
you had the same build set as what Manuel uses.

That being said, I'm looking at a 128meg net4801 image based on m0n0bsd 
and Mauels documentation that boots right up and makes a multiport USB 
adapter available.  It's a full binary install of FreeBSD as well as the 
added bonus of daemontools.

It can be done, but there's a bit of work in creating the image to 
mirror the configuration Manuel uses.
