It looks like my HP EliteBook 8540w has usb 3.0

45:00.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host 
Controller (rev 03)

I don't have any devices that are usb 3.0 though, so I haven't tried it.

I would be willing to try it if someone has a device. (Could try it at 
the next penguins unbound meeting, Feb. 26)

Here is the Kernel and distribution info on my laptop.

Linux briandolangoecke 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 
17:40:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

bdolango at briandolangoecke:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 10.10
Release:        10.10
Codename:       maverick

Best of Luck to you.
