Problem was not kernel related. Fixed by changing the BIOS Option
for PCI Express Frequency from Auto to 100 MHz:

Not sure why lsusb doesn't identify the smart card reader by name, though:

Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 009 Device 002: ID 8564:4000  
Bus 009 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

Hi,

my RDF-8 card reader does not establish a super-speed connection when connected
to an U3S6 USB3.0 port. It only manages high-speed:

The NEC/Renesas USB controller chip on the U3S6 card was upgraded to F303408.MEM
firmware. The RDF-8 reader reports TS-22 firmware.

  05:00.0 USB controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller

I'm running a ubuntu trusty kernel 

  3.13.0-27-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 15 18:06:16 UTC 2014

lspci  lsusb  lsusb -v  usb-devices:

So much for my cunning plan to easily get USB3 up and running on my aging linux 
machine
by just plugging in some pci card :-) Any pointers?

Regard,
Daniel
