Control computer - you can use the airport to VNC into your control machine though.
Apple locks down their routers and makes the USB available only to printers via Bonjour. Other manufacturers open it up to Hard drives too -- but the R60 is a special case as it is converting Serial to CAN.
However, an R70 will work right into a LAN port on the Airport (theoretically)! Your shop may have them.
It's not so much an apple thing, but how those gateways work - it's much easier to throw a handful of generic drivers onto your WAP that you know will work for a handful of things (ie Printer, Hard drive), than throw every driver in the world on so they can act as a USB host for a wide variety of peripherals. Apple has chosen the safer route that raises fewer tech support hurdles for their consumer base.
Not sure what your rig is carrying, but if you have a QLab B/U, download a copy of R1 for Mac and use the B/U as the new control computer. You can get WWB or WSM on there too so you're not running totally blind. Plus, those programs don't use up much RAM so the integrity of your B/U is still good. Tour teaches you to get creative!
This may not do exactly what you want -- but in a pinch the older R10 software may do what you need. It's what the shops use to batch service and update the amps. It doesn't have a fancy show-time overview like R1 has, but it will let you mute and unmute channels remotely to make your sound check a little easier.
