USB 3.0 card not recognized

[craesz]

I thought the Linux kernel from way back had usb 3.0 incorporated. I just bought a 3.0 card and dropped it in. I can't seem to find it in any hardware information. I have an external USB 3.0 (backwards to 2.0) drive that works when I plug it into my 2.0 hub. Nothing 3.0 seems to be found. Currently using kernel 2.6.38.8-pclos3.a64.

Is there a trick to having 3.0 hardware seen by the operating system?

Craesz,

post the output of lspci command, or even better:

Code: [Select]

lspci -nn -k

it appear to be properly recognized ...

If you attach some usb device to that card, try to use the command lsusb or install and use usbview ...

Else, describe what is wrong that we actually can't see  ...

Have no idea why it initially was not recognized. I am using it now. I did reboot in between but I installed it all with the machine off. Figured that the kernel would find it on power up. Maybe it takes a reboot to be found after a cold boot.
