Title:
  slow USB 2.0 drive: it's mounted as USB 1.0, not USB 2.0!

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  
  In gutsy 7.10 dist-upgraded to the max:

  Ubuntu 64-bit sometimes does not mount USB 2.0 devices as 2.0.

  1) plugin in the USB drive
  2) mount it if not automounted (sometimes it doesn't)
  3) right-click, properties in nautilus, go to drive tab, see speed "12 Mbps"
  4) umount it, unplug it
  5) sudo rmmod ehci_hcd
  6) plugin the USB drive
  7) sudo modprobe ehci_hcd
  8) mount it if not automounted
  9) right-click, properties in nautilus, go to drive tab, see speed "480 Mbps"

  Something is horribly wrong at recognizing the proper USB speed mode
  of external drives.

  From /var/log/messages: note how the first time the drive is mounted properly as high speed, the second time as slow, then as high speed again with the trick of modprobe'ing the ehci_hcd driver.
  Somehow, the second time the driver sees the same USB hard drive, it fails to recognize it as USB 2.0.
  (when I modprobe the driver, the USB mouse and keyboard are also recognized, don't be confused by these).

  If you need more info let me know.
