The "any" device works in Linux because you can open a PF_PACKET  
socket and not bind it to a particular interface, so it receives  
packets from all interfaces rather than one particular interface.

A "usbany" device would be implemented in the USB capture module in  
the Linux kernel in a similar fashion.  I don't know whether it will  
appear in any future version of the Linux kernel.
