USB 2.0 doesn't neccessarily mean that a device is high-speed mode
capable. There also have been made some minor changes in the USB
specification for low- speed and full-speed mode, so there are lots
of manufacturers who advertise their product as USB 2.0 devices when
they just meet those minor specification changes.

This was done especially during a short time after the introduction
of USB 2.0, but also done nowadays.

Andreas
