USB 2.0 support is only in the 2.5 kernel.  There may be a backport, but
you'd then have to roll your own kernel.

I have a Philips USB 1.x external CD-RW.  USB 1.x supports a write speed
of only 4x.  Cost me about $150 6 months ago.

IF you can't get the drivers working, you can pick up a PCMCIA USB card,
or Firewire.  I'm not sure what the top speed of PCMCIA is, but should
support at least 4x.
