Hey there fellow neck-beards and grey-beards!

I have a motherboard with USB3.1 and I need to down clock it so its always 5 Gbit/s and never faster.

Is there any way to do this, my DuckDuckGo Fu is not finding the right combination of words.

I use Arch BTW…

Just kidding im still running Manjaro.

Thanks.

    Afaik, this is not possible. This would be handled by the host controller and the usb device itself. Which adheres to the standard it’s told it supports.

    The kernel wasn’t designed to manage the host controller in this way.

    However, you can limit the network traffic speed of a USB device with traffic shaping tools like ‘tc’

    I do not claim to be an expert - I may be wrong.
