Great... now how about an Ethernet version?

USB is all very well, but what would be cool is an Ethernet version that works at 10/100/1000, doesn't require drivers - and can protect all the machines I have on my home network, not just one PC.

Drivers are so passé for stuff like this - Ethernet is an open standard, and works on any platform. It's also far less CPU-hungry than USB, as a lot of operations are accelerated by the average network card.
