You can find udev's action rules under /etc/udev/ ... Maybe you'll find what you need there. Note that most motherboards don't make every port USB3. In fact, I haven't yet seen one yet that does. If you look next to the port, you may see the text 'USB3'...try plugging your dongle into a different port from that one. The other thing you might do is disable USB3 in your kernel configuration or BIOS. (Enable UHCI and EHCI, disable XHCI). Make sure you have a PS/2 keyboard on hand, just in case. On the other hand, it could just be that your dongle doesn't work; that error sounds suspiciously like a misbehaving USB device. Try it in a different system. -- :wq
