|uhub1: 4 ports with 4 removable, self poweredTo my mind, this indicates that the ohci driver is binding to the hardware
first and reducing the speed on the bus to USB1.0 speeds.
Nope, it doesn't. ohci handles low and full speed devices, high speed devices are handed over to ehci.
The question is, how can I remove ohci or reorder ohci and ehci so that I get better speed
out of the bus?
Have a look where your USB device attaches - if it's high speed it should got to uhub1, otherwise to uhub0.
