I realize this may be a bit late, but I find "unknown" to be a very
strange word to use to indicate, "please choose the best option for
me".  For USB device type I used "auto", meaning, "automatically
choose the best option for me".  Paul didn't like "auto", which is
fair enough, but I really don't see how "unknown" is better.

Anyway, not meaning to block, just a suggestion.
