[OBSOLETE] How to enable "USB Attached SCSI"?

[magfan]

How can I enable "USB Attached SCSI"? Is it part of a kernel module which I do not load per default? I need it for a PCIe-card with an ASM1051E chip.

According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_Attached_SCSI that chip does not support USB attached SCSI.

It seems to me I did not pick out the real problem. The USB chip sits on an internal PCIe-card which is connected to an eSATA/USB3/USB2 PCIe-card with two external multi-ports. Using an external USB3 harddrive on one of these ports gives ~35MB/s (read). This is more or less USB2 speed. But if I connect the same harddisk to another USB3 port (different chip) reading speed is about ~125MB/s which is quite acceptable. But maybe the first USB chip (ASMedia) is not the problem...

If I scan for PCI devices I get the following info:

The last line says: "Kernel driver in use: ahci". But in mcc the chip is listed under unknown hardware and it is said that the used module is "unknown". What can I do?
