What do you propose as a trigger for the kernel to fallback?

You can work it around manually, just don't use ehci-hcd, can't you?


Yes I can unload ehci-hcd, but I have one USB 2.0 device that strangely enough
DOES work as such, and unloading ehci-hcd will cause that also to run at 1.1
speed.

Clearly something is failing when plugging a device with ehci-hcd loaded, the
driver seems to keep retrying indefinitely. Instead it would be nice if after
a few tries it hands the device over to uhci-hcd. This seems to be the
behaviour under Windows, so I was wondering if Linux could be made to do
something similar.
