Default Generic USB 2.0 hub showing up as USB 1.1

Can you compare the data transfer rate of the hub in question while in XP
to that in linux? Take a large file say 100 megs and transfer it from an
external drive and time it. I'd like to see which is faster, XP or linux
or if it;s the same.



Well, that's not going to be likely to do. Since the newer hub is so
unreliable, I'm only trusting it with light duty at the moment, such as
mouse and keyboard connections, nothing data-heavy like external HDs, or
thumbdrives.
