What chip are you referring to? Most USB/TTL chips act as a USB device. You would need a USB host. FTDI makes a few nice USB bridges, but they are all devices. USB was designed to make devices simple, but unfortunately this makes hosts harder.

Dan, I wish you well. When you get it working, please share with us. I'd be really interested for my own projects.
Yet another option would be the Cypress CyFi.

Cypress has the most impressive analog processors I've encountered, I can't say enough good things about the PSoC. I haven't tried their wireless yet, but it may be worth a shot. A rep claimed that they spec 10m, work at 30m, and can hit 1km with a power amp. Reps do lie for a living, but I tend to believe this one.
This isn't an engineering fair and demonstration, it's FRC. Defense is part of the game. You can't expect a good FRC team to just sit there and get clobbered by a full-court shooter; they're going to engineer a solution to the problem. - Kevin Sevcik [more]
