Are you sure that EHCI handles low-speed devices in that case? I thought that XHCI is capable of handling low-speed devices instead... Anyway, QEMU certainly only emulates the EHCI in a traditional way, so if you want to use low-speed devices here, you also have to specify an UHCI controller for them. I.e. as far as I can see, this is not a bug in QEMU, but just a configuration issue.

The ehci specification states: Low-speed device, release ownership of port <= Table 2-16. Table 2-6: Number of Companion Controller (N_CC). This field indicates the number of companion controllers associated with this USB 2.0 host controller. A zero in this field indicates there are no companion host controllers. Port-ownership hand-off is not supported. Only high-speed devices are supported on the host controller root ports. A value larger than zero in this field indicates there are companion USB 1.1 host controller(s). Port-ownership hand-offs are supported. High, Full- and Low-speed devices are supported on the host controller root ports. Which is not longer true, as for example skylake and baytrail offers a dual usb stack of ehci and xhci. In that case, EHCI handles the low speed device as well. brgds, Bert To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1550743/+subscriptions
