1 I've got a Ryzen 5 2600 in an MSI B350 Tomahawk motherboard. The specs
2 imply that the CPU produces four USB 3.0 ports and the chipset produces
3 6 USB 2.0 and four USB 3.1 (although the last four are not available
4 with this motherboard.

6 lsusb shows
7 Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
8 Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
9 Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
10 Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

12 lsusb -t shows
13 /: Bus 04.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/4p, 5000M
14 /: Bus 03.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/4p, 480M
15 /: Bus 02.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/4p, 10000M
16 /: Bus 01.Port 1: Dev 1, Class=root_hub, Driver=xhci_hcd/10p, 480M

18 Bus 01 shows 10p because there is a 4 port external hub connected, so
19 that should be the 6 USB 2.0 ports - two rear ports, and two two port
20 headers (JUSB1 and JUSB2)
21 Bus 02 is (I assume) advertised by the B350 chipset, but I don't expect
22 it to show up on any physical ports or headers
23 Bus 03 is a mystery, as I have no idea where the extra USB 2.0 ports
24 are coming from
25 Bus 04 should be the USB 3.0 generated by the CPU, and I assume should
26 be what feeds the JUSB3 and JUSB4 USB3 headers
27
28 The rear IO panel has 2 USB 2.0 ports, and if I plug anything into
29 them, they show up as ports 8 and 9 on bus 1.
30 The front of the case has two USB3 ports, which show up on the bus 1,
31 ports 1 and 2 if the connector is in JUSB4 on the mobo, or ports 3 and
32 4 if using JUSB3.
33 The three Type-A USB3 connectors on the back show up on bus 3, ports 1,
34 2, and 4, with port 3 presumably being the Type-C connector. I don't
35 have anything to test in the Type-C port.
36
37 I'd be really surprised if the back IO panel on the mobo is miswired,
38 but why are the supposed USB3 ports all showing up as USB2? I have one
39 webcam capable of USB3, but it's only connecting at 480M (per lsusb -v)
40 but it's plug shows the standard USB logo, not the superspeed version.
41
42 I've had no response to my query on the MSI user forum, and none yet to
43 my ticket to MSI tech support.
44
45 Any suggestions on where to go from here? I'll be glad to post more,
46 but don't want to spam the list with irrelevant logs.
47
48 Thanks for any ideas.
