USB is a complicated thing. I suspect that the software is not the issue.
A motherboard has one, two, three or more USB connectors, and each
connector may serve more than one port, thus more than one port may have
to share what the motherboard gives it. And the motherboard may be lumping
connectors together as well.

John,

Interesting.

Try lshw -c usb to see if it sheds any light

Nope. By itself a few strings flash along the terminal but there's no output
display. Using 'lshw -X -c usb' produces an empty window; 'lshw -c usb -dump
<filename>' and,

[root@salmo ~]# lshw -short -c usb
H/W path            Device  Class       Description

[root@salmo ~]# lshw -businfo -c usb
Bus info          Device  Class       Description

[root@salmo ~]# lshw -xml -c usb <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<!-- generated by lshw-unknown -->

<!-- GNU libc 2 (glibc 2.23) -->

on which port has what capabilities. The user manual for the motherboard
may also provide clues.

The manual tells me which 3.x flavor is assigned to each port on the rear
panel.

Thanks,

Rich
