Linux's (and Windows and Solaris and ...) attempts to "fix" this problem
is one of the reasons I'd consider Linux (and Windows and ...) crappy.
A complicated solution that creates far more problems than it ever
solves, and usually at the worst times possible (i.e., disaster
recovery, where you are trying to rebuild a failed system).
The tools to deal with this are already in OpenBSD as I and Peter
indicated. We don't need an "automatic" solution that penalizes
everyone for an edge-case problem (and yes, I'd consider this an edge
case. I can't imagine a serious, industrial firewall with USB interfaces).
