In 2.4.19 usb 2.0 is supported for cards using the NEC usb 2.0
chipset. This includes most of the cheap aftermarket cards. You need
to use the ehci driver (CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD). With my archos recorder
20 I get improved speed over usb 1.1, but nowhere near the specified
maximum. I suspect that this is due to a slow cpu (K6-350) rather than
the USB bus.
