Yeah, it wants the fastest SOB USB port ya have, as it needs it. I prefer to use the above site's tar file as you can have the tar file installed somewhere safe, like /opt, and when you update your kernel you can re-compile it again instead of waiting for someone else to issue a new rpm release for it... which may or may not work for you and your particular circumstances. This method works for me.
