Tip: finally found a USB 3.1 card that works with 28

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I finally found a PCIe USB 3.1 adapter that works perfectly
with Fedora 28:

Syba SD-PEX20200
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019LHXZOA

Tested and failed were:

StarTech.com PEXUSB312C Dual Port USB 3.1 Card – 1x USB-C – 1x
USB-A Large file transfers crash your operating system

Siig JU-P20A12-S1 2-Port USB 3.1 PCI-Express Host Adapter
Card Type-A/C 1 st attempt: A port worked, c port only provided
power.  2nd attempt (send back for repair): both ports
only supplied power.  Tossed in the trash.

Ableconn PU31-1A1C USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C & Type-A PCIe x4
Host Adapter Card both ports: Aug 23 19:24:47 localhost
kernel: usb 6-1: new SuperSpeed USB device number 5 using
xhci_hcd Aug 23 19:24:47 localhost kernel: usb 6-1:
device descriptor read/8, error -61

I though I'd never find one!

-T

I suspect that is more a commentary on the quality of cheap
hardware, than on the linux kernel.

Glad you found one.

You are being polite.  No suspicion about it.  You nailed it.

Funny how the USB that comes with Intel based chipsets
always works perfectly but add on cards do not.  Intel
won't get into this market as the margins are too low.
Enter the el-cheap-o cards.

I had good luck years ago with a Syba USB 2 add on
where nothing else would work on Windows 7 machines.
Start Tech will crash their boot!

I hate el-cheap-o add on cards.  They always cost
more in the long run.
