Hi,
Hardware:
A7N266 motherbord (USB1.1)
USB2 PCI card (USB2)
IDE-USB2 converter

OS:
FreeBSD 5.3 and 5.4

HDD is detected as da0.


I always get USB1.1. In dmesg speed is shown as 1 Mbps.

Did 'dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/null bs=10240' on one terminal and on other
one 'iostat -w 1 da0'. The speed shown was not more than 0.8 Mbps.

The same hardware tested on SuSE Linux 9.3 and Windows XP. Works fine.
High speed USB.

Is there any way to get USB2 working? After STFW, got pointers
suggesting that USB2 will be automatically used if the h/w supports
it. 

Regards,
Shantanoo
