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.
