No problem

Cool, so your card is recognised and running in ehci (USB 2.0) mode.

Yup, same chipset as mine. Looking good.

Urgh! I guess this is what you get for no name cards. Don't worry about
it, though.

Card Information Structures. Basically, firmware and vendor information.

You should be able to plug devices in and see some kernel output in dmesg.
Try plugging in a USB memory key, or a mouse, and see if the kernel finds
a driver for it. You should also have another directory under
/proc/bus/usb. Check this directory with and without the card in. Should
be different.

Finally, lsusb will enumerate buses, hubs and devices visible to the
kernel.
