If you're clever enough to figure it out, you can do a USB passthrough over ethernet
with Linux. I've done that in the past.
Not recommending that, just noting the point :-)

The main advantage of using Ethernet (instead of USB) is that you can run/develop software/scripts anywhere with Ethernet/IP access. With USB, you'd have to hook up a local machine. Also, TCP/IP sockets and Telnet connections are accessible from environments like Java, whereas USB is not (easily).
On the other hand, there seem to be more USB interfaces on the market than Ethernet interfaces.
