How about an external hub for all the things that dont require high speed USB - mouse/keyboard etc?
 
Some peripheral need exlusive port, some have usb 1.0 speed, some 2.0 (hs), no one need 3.0 (ss).
Mouse and keyboard are connected on Bluetooth usb antenna. I make some group with usb hub then I can. But, I don’t understand some usb card pcie ports don’t work .. like a limitation ?
 
My 2 additional pcie cards are usb 2.0, one with 2 firewire800 ports, other 4 usb 2.0 ports.
Will try NEC kext.

Looks like a limitation.
If so, how assign additional Pcie usb ports to the correct way (lot of PR seems get all assignments) ?
What a fight !!
