Hi, I've got a new mobo, it's a GIGABYTE GA-B85M-D3H. It has got 8 "USB 2.0/1.1 ports"[1] and 2 "USB 3.0/2.0 ports"[1]. [1] Quoting the user's manual Actually it provides 4 USB 3.0/2.0 ports, but only 2 are available at the moment, since I don't have brackets/front panels for USB 3.0. There are two ehci devices, one shares the IRQ with audio cards. If I unbind the ehci device that shares the IRQ with audio cards, still all 10 available USB ports work, but I get rid of sharing the IRQ with USB. Could somebody explain what this does mean? If I unbound ports on my old mobo, they stopped working.
