Hey everyone:

If I plug in a USB 3.0 hub my Hack's USB ports (including 2.0) become unresponsive at boot and I can't use my keyboard at my boot loader screen to select my OS.

If I unplug the USB 3 hub the problem disappears - so I am assuming that the hub and what is connected to it is causing the problem.

I am wondering if going the PCIE USB 3.0 card route would (in most cases) be a solution?

Does USB over PCIE bypass the limitations of my rear Mobo USB ports?

it won't help you to bypass the 15 port limit. You should really create an USBmap.kext like it is stated on the Dortania guide. That will also solve your disconnect issues.
