Be careful --- this is pretty much the same setup I have (except I
bought four 16GB USB sticks [30MB/s read, 15MB/s write via RAID-0, heh
heh heh] and so far I've noticed that the SheevaPlug is very, very picky
about USB hubs.
I've tried three hubs, an expensive branded D-Link 7-port and two cheapo
Scan 4-port own brand ones of different models. Only one of the Scan
hubs works reliably. The others produce I/O errors, spontaneous
disconnects, and general badness.
While I still haven't finished gathering data, they *do* seem to work
fine on a desktop PC, which kinda points the finger at the SheevaPlug.

How are you with a soldering iron? The kernel supports both ports already!
I'm planning to use a USB ethernet widget on mine.
