First of all, the reason for this behaviour seems to be USB specific. Kernel.org ([here][1]) states the following: > When USB 1.1 devices plug into USB 2.0 hubs, they interact with the > EHCI controller through a “Transaction Translator” (TT) in the hub, > which turns low or full speed transactions into high speed “split > transactions” that don’t waste transfer bandwidth. Since there is no specific USB 1.0 module (the USB 2.0 will handle USB 1.1 devices), which could be black-listed, this is no option. The product page states the device as USB 2. ([here][2]) Since the device is not USB 3, we cant unload all modules and load the XHCI first, to let it grab the device. Please try: udevadm trigger And see, if it get recognized correctly.
