Yes,

I see that too:

ugen0.3: <ASIX Elec. Corp. AX88179> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH 
(480Mbps) pwr=ON (248mA)

Works like a charm spd=HIGH, but probably not super-speed.

Maybe the vendor does something different when the speed is super speed 
so that the BULK transport can move more data at a time ...

Vendor documentation is wanted! Maybe you simply need to USB trace the 
protocol when super-speed is used and vendor drivers are in place.

Right now there is no option to disable super speed only, but maybe try 
to run this command on all USB 3.x root HUBS:

usbconfig -d X.Y set_config 255

Maybe the device will show up as high-speed on the other computer 
aswell. It's worth a try.
