What's the difference now between -1 and 1? We don't have wireless USB
anymore as that never turned into an actual product, so we shouldn't
reference it anymore, right?

We should get rid of the -1 option entirely, but keep the module option
and properly map it to '1'.


+ 2 is authorized for internal devices

Needs a "if you don't know what to select, please choose X" text here.

Thanks, submitted v2 which strives to address also these considerations.
