I need to get USB 3.0 working, but my board has got the old NEC chipset. Obviously, I need a PCIE card. Any experience with the Fresco FL1100 USB 3.0 chipset? It is listed in Apple's kexts as XHCI, it seems it used to work OOB at least under 10.8.2, and I saw one mention of it working OOB in 10.11. Since it's not sold locally, I would love to hear some experience from those who have it and upgraded to El Capitan, before I order it from abroad (with all the paperwork and taxes).
Any sleep issues? Any speed issues (back in 10.8.2, some reported not so great speeds)? Does it work OOB, or do you still need to do some port injection magic due to the new way El Capitan USB drivers work? Needs a specific SMBIOS Mac ID to work?
Thanks for any info! If it just worked, it might be the easiest way to get USB 3 without any messing around.
