USB 2.0 requires a different controller type: EHCI instead of OHCI. There is 
an IOS device node for EHCI:
  http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki//dev/usb/ehc

The wiki says "This doesn't seem to be implemented in retail Wiis."; I don't 
know if that means that the hardware is not there or the support from IOS is 
not there. In the latter case, there is a possibility but it would require 
writing either a new driver in the IOS or replacing the IOS altogether; not 
an easy task.
