Does anybody have noticed that Asus specification http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?m...=12&l2=43&l3=0 says that the router has USB 2.0 ports?

According to the information I have read on internet the router is based on BCM4780
NASoC Network-Attached Storage Processor: http://www.broadcom.com/products/Ent...utions/BCM4780 whitch according to a brief description http://www.broadcom.com/collateral/pb/4780P-PB01-R.pdf has only USB 1.1 controller.

The question is - what is the actual USB susbsystem speed?
