Thanks for the tip. I couldn't find the 1660 at anywhere near that price locally, so I jumped on the Dell bandwagon, too. Now for USB support. My box has USB connectors, but I've never had any USB devices, so which kernel parameters under the USB tab (or elsewhere?) should I select to attach the 1660? Any reason these can't be builtin?
