Beta testing team here. The RoboRIO has *some* support for USB<->Serial devices, like the Arduino and other FTDI devices. You should not need an ethernet shield to do this. Be careful about powering the Arduino over the USB on the RoboRIO though. I don't think it will let you pull more than 500mA (USB Spec) so no massively long blinky LED chains.
