How to tell if my USB ports are 1.1 or 2.0 for different OSes?

In the same vein as this question, how do you determine what speed the USB ports are on your machine with different OSes installed?

"On OSX, you can go launch System Profiler and look for USB. If you have a High-Speed bus, that means USB 2.0.

Also, the speed is shown, here it's 480 Mb/sec, indicating USB 2.0

Also this may help:

$ ioreg -k IOUserClientClass | grep UserClientClass | grep USBDeviceUserClient | head -1 | sed -e 's/.* = //'
""IOUSBDeviceUserClientV2"""
