Since the controller does not have USB ports, that will be problematic. You would need to have an external interface board that supports both ethernet and USB, then write software for it to shuffle the data between the busses. It would probably end up being more expensive, take up more space, be more complex and have lower performance than simply using an ethernet camera.

How expensive is "so expensive"? How does that cost compare with USB cameras? How about compared to the cost of the CMUcam? Are you considering any specs of the cameras besides the interface?
