I posted the following to the Cypress forums. However, after further investigation, I think it is the ASM1042 controller on the PCIe card. Other than going to a different USB 3.0 card, is there anything from the Linux side that I might be able to do to get by the error condition described below? I am doing asynchronous reads through libusb.

There are no known issue. FX3 works with other platforms. This could be xHCI limitation. >I am running a > 64-bit quad core Xeon Intel machine running Mint 16.
