Maybe my "attached" was misleading. The port I attached the QuickPort
docking station is capable of high speed in regard of the hardware. But
FreeBSD attaches the device to an OHCI instead of an EHCI. Of course I
tried different ports and cables.

On a different machine with the same motherboard I tested the QuickPort
with FreeBSD-9.0-RC1, CentOS 6.0 and Windows 7. Under CentOS 6.0 and
Windows 7 the QuickPort was set to high speed. Under FreeBSD only full
speed was available. The only difference so far I could find was that
wMaxPacketSize in Endpoint 0 and Endpoint 1 is set to 0x40 for FreeBSD
and 0x200 for CentOS and Windows.
