Hi, I've just added a PCIe USB 3.0 card to my PC, because I can :-). I think it's this one: http://www.neoseeker.com/news/13066-gigabyte-releases-pci-e-usb-3-0-expansion-cards-/ So here's what lspci has to say about it: 08:00.0 0c03: 1033:0194 (rev 03) and: 08:00.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation Device 0194 (rev 03) (prog-if 30) Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device 5007 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 0, Cache Line Size: 64 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 18 Region 0: Memory at fb9fe000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=375mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 NoSoftRst+ PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [70] MSI: Enable- Count=1/8 Maskable- 64bit+ Address: 0000000000000000 Data: 0000 Capabilities: [90] MSI-X: Enable- Count=8 Masked- Vector table: BAR=0 offset=00001000 PBA: BAR=0 offset=00001080 Capabilities: [a0] Express (v2) Endpoint, MSI 00 DevCap: MaxPayload 128 bytes, PhantFunc 0, Latency L0s unlimited, L1 unlimited ExtTag- AttnBtn- AttnInd- PwrInd- RBE+ FLReset- DevCtl: Report errors: Correctable- Non-Fatal- Fatal- Unsupported- RlxdOrd- ExtTag- PhantFunc- AuxPwr- NoSnoop+ MaxPayload 128 bytes, MaxReadReq 512 bytes DevSta: CorrErr- UncorrErr- FatalErr- UnsuppReq- AuxPwr+ TransPend- LnkCap: Port #0, Speed 5GT/s, Width x1, ASPM L0s L1, Latency L0 <4us, L1 unlimited ClockPM+ Surprise- LLActRep- BwNot- LnkCtl: ASPM Disabled; RCB 64 bytes Disabled- Retrain- CommClk- ExtSynch- ClockPM+ AutWidDis- BWInt- AutBWInt- LnkSta: Speed 2.5GT/s, Width x1, TrErr- Train- SlotClk+ DLActive- BWMgmt- ABWMgmt- DevCap2: Completion Timeout: Not Supported, TimeoutDis+ DevCtl2: Completion Timeout: 50us to 50ms, TimeoutDis- LnkCtl2: Target Link Speed: 5GT/s, EnterCompliance- SpeedDis-, Selectable De-emphasis: -6dB Transmit Margin: Normal Operating Range, EnterModifiedCompliance- ComplianceSOS- Compliance De-emphasis: -6dB LnkSta2: Current De-emphasis Level: -3.5dB Capabilities: [100 v1] Advanced Error Reporting UESta: DLP- SDES- TLP- FCP- CmpltTO- CmpltAbrt- UnxCmplt- RxOF- MalfTLP- ECRC- UnsupReq- ACSViol- UEMsk: DLP- SDES- TLP- FCP- CmpltTO- CmpltAbrt- UnxCmplt- RxOF- MalfTLP- ECRC- UnsupReq- ACSViol- UESvrt: DLP+ SDES+ TLP- FCP+ CmpltTO- CmpltAbrt- UnxCmplt- RxOF+ MalfTLP+ ECRC- UnsupReq- ACSViol- CESta: RxErr- BadTLP- BadDLLP- Rollover- Timeout- NonFatalErr- CEMsk: RxErr- BadTLP- BadDLLP- Rollover- Timeout- NonFatalErr+ AERCap: First Error Pointer: 00, GenCap- CGenEn- ChkCap- ChkEn- Capabilities: [140 v1] Device Serial Number ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff Capabilities: [150 v1] #18 Kernel driver in use: xhci_hcd Kernel modules: xhci And then there's the dmesg log: xhci_hcd 0000:08:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 xhci_hcd 0000:08:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 xhci_hcd 0000:08:00.0: xHCI Host Controller xhci_hcd 0000:08:00.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1 xhci_hcd 0000:08:00.0: irq 18, io mem 0xfb9fe000 usb usb1: config 1 interface 0 altsetting 0 endpoint 0x81 has no SuperSpeed companion descriptor xHCI xhci_add_endpoint called for root hub xHCI xhci_check_bandwidth called for root hub That line about "0x81 has no SuperSpeed companion descriptor" looks worrying. Finally, here's the output of /proc/bus/usb/devices: T: Bus=01 Lev=00 Prnt=00 Port=00 Cnt=00 Dev#= 1 Spd=??
