Linux has USB 3.0 support in kernel, so you should just need a kernel
that's older than 2.6.31.  I suggest using 2.6.36 at least.

I haven't tried that particular product out, so I can't say whether it
works or not.  If it's got an NEC µPD720200A inside, it should work
fine.  Even if it doesn't work, the Linux xHCI driver should be patched
to make it work. :)
