Please note that im on 8.2-STABLE… I suspect hw.usb.ehci is not available here (or is this another bug?)

I commented out the specific quirks section in ehci_pci.c and now performance is as expected!
I didn't test any other USB devices on this board, yet. But the network device appears to be stable, thus I suspect the quirk setting based on vendor NVIDIA and NVIDIA2 is a bit too far fetched?
For reference, here is my patch:
