I have the same issues and results over here with my sony T series (running fedora). I've been banging my head against a wall for hours.
When plugged into the WORKING 3.0 port, the device is shown as being on the same bus # as the 2.0 port. Could it be a problem with the controller? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1172908 Title: USB 2.0 Ports Dont Work on Sony Vaio Laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1172908/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
