USB support (ehci) at the bootloader and then the driver for the device you want to use. u-boot supports quite a few ethernet devices, so I believe making usb to work would probably be the only thing needed. >>> Getting it to work with panda would be a major milestone.

Even if not fully able to boot from USB, we can have at least a minimal u-boot/SPL that would deliver DFU support, this way you could still push another boot loader later on.
