Sure, you just need to get them into an ethernet interface from somewhere. You obviously can't connect the USB ports to an ethernet cable (unless the sensor provides data via ethernet like the newest Hokuyo or some Sicks).
The usual option would to use be mini-computers like a gumstix or your rapberry pi and get the laser data via USB from there to transmit it via ethernet. I'm not sure if you mean to transfer raw binary data via wifi and collect it there, which would require extra software.
The easiest would be to run ROS on the embedded system and just run the ROS drivers from there. Then you can run everything like you would normally do.
