OK question to the note 3 owners that have linux computers?

so I see the note 3 options for usb only include 3.0 for meda on windows. or at least my phone only shows this.

My main PC at home is a Linux box and happens to be the only device I own that has USB 3.0

now when I connect up on those ports with the cable - I do find file transfers are rather fast.

but the 3.0 notification icon doesn't show up on the phone - and I don't know for certain that I'm actually using 3.0 - since apparently on the VZW phones - to use USB 3.0 they want to turn off the cell radio to elminate interference.

and my phone isn't doing that - that I know of.


have any of you guys tried or verified the USB 3.0 working in Linux or other OS's?
