I have verified that the USB 3 kernel module is loaded and that USB 3 is
displayed by lshw .
When I plug a USB 3 enable external drive into the USB 3 port, the drive
acknowledges the presences of USB 3 (for this unit, the text SUPERSPEED
illuminates). However, there is no created USB /dev/sde . When I plug
the same external drive into a USB 2 port, the USB 3 acknowledgement is
not displayed, but there is a created USB /dev/sde.
Here are the relevant sections of the output from lshw:

End lshw output.
What else must I do so that the xhci_ehd driver does the same as the
ehci_ehd driver, and activates an appropriate use of the usb-storage driver?
