The USB 2.0 driver in 5.4R does not work on my Inspiron 7500 (IIRC, it
locks up the system).  It is not ready for prime time - which is
stated in the man page.  I believe the man page for 6.0 has been
updated, so I'm hoping that it will  perform better when I get around
to installing 6.0.  The lack of USB 2 support is beginning to be a
pain.  As much as possible, I use Firewire, but not everything has a
Firewire port.
