Etron EJ168 USB3 controller: wheezy?

[Dexter Filmore]

Motherboard Gigabyte GA-H67MA-USB3-B3, H67 (B3)
lists:
03:00.0 USB Controller: Device 1b6f:7023 (rev 01)

Current 2.6.39 on wheezy: no go, attached devices are not recognized.
Cannot find info if more recent kernel improve situation.
Where can I read up if support has been incorporated?

Read on the interblag that a certain popular debian derivate incorporated a
set of patches that provided support including surviving suspend/resume on a
patched 2.6.38 so I guess it is possible but where would I find a complete
changelog or similar?

"2.6.39"? Looks a bit outdated to me, it should be "3.1.x" :-?

What does dmesg say? ("dmesg | grep -i usb")

The kernel guys in charge of xhci module will be glad to hear from it, I
would ask them:

I would first try to compile the latest kernel from upstream sources to
check if the card works from there.
