Check the kernel log (from dmesg, or /var/log/kern.log). When the device
is first attached you should see something like these:
usb 3-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 27
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 18
"high speed" means USB 2.0, "full speed" means USB 1.1.
I think there is also half speed 1.1.
Alternatively, while the device is plugged in run "lsusb -v" and look at
the "bcdUSB" field which seems to indicate 1.10 or 2.00.
