When I plug in my device which is USB 2.0 into a 3.0 slot (cause that is

[495043.100076] usb 5-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71

I receive the above error.

Is there a flag or setting that tells the USB to in a 2.0 mode ?

USB 1 and 2 used 4 pins. USB 3 ports have an ADDITIONAL 5 pins, the original 4 are used for USB 1/2 operation, the new 5 only for USB 3 operation. they are effectively two completely independent controllers.

the combined protocol stack is an unholy mess of poorly planned extensions.
