lsusb. If it shows it is hooked to the EHCI usb bus (cat /proc/interrupts
can help you with this in new kernels), it is USB 2.0. Otherwise, it is USB
1.1 (either because someone lied in their specs, or bad USB cabling).
That *still* won't give you USB 2.0 speeds. I have never seen a !@#!@$
pen-drive or mp3-player that did more than lie on that regard, they all
operate at ~10Mbit/s maximum, and that's for the very good ones. It is just
operating in USB 2.0 mode, but in 12Mbit/s speed (which is not a bad thing,
if the flash device inside isn't faster than that anyway...).
