Darn, that is true. Looking at the dmesg output in http://ix.io/DOg:

[    0.405942] usbcore: registered new interface driver smsc95xx
[    5.821104] smsc95xx 1-1.1:1.0 eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 
0x45E1

I don't know enough about USB... is it possible to control which CPU
handles the individual USB ports, or on some other level (than ports)?
