It appears in the system log when the device is plugged in.  For 
example, in your original post:

> [254064.056759] usb 2-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 15 using ehci_hcd

The "full-speed" part means the device is running at 12 Mb/s (USB-1).  
For comparison, low speed is 1.5 Mb/s (also USB-1), high speed is 480
Mb/s (USB-2), and SuperSpeed is 5000 Mb/s (USB-3).
