with USB 2.0, its feasible to actually have harddrives, cdroms, burners, etc that use USB connections since the data moves along quick enough. The internal USB connection would allow these new USB devices to be placed in your computer like conventional IDE/ATAPI devices but connect to the internal USB port.

just like how some firewire cards have external ports and enternal ports.......mine has 2 on the outside and one on the inside, and Windows XP thinks it's a connection to the internet but we wont go there.

yea it installed mine as a local area connection as well. firewire cards must be able to be used as a NIC card or something? i dunno..it didn't make sense to me.

you can share internet connections, via Firewire or USB2.0 cards since they have such a high data rate.
