That will not fit for my project, how would I connect something to the
n800 after that: repeat the n800 serial hack[1]?

Implementing usb-host on a microcontroller is possible but will be
quite hard (what protocol to talk etc)

I think the most reasonable solutions I heard so far are to use the IR
transceiver this should be relatively cheap or use a Wiimote(easy). Of
course there is the BT serial possibility but I would like to avoid
doing that if possible

I am now experimenting with the hammer to get usb-net + synergy going
I can test this on the N800 but agree it's quite something
but who else can ssh to their gaming controller device, tweak latency
and change the key repeat from the cmd line :p

Yep true,
