Under 'Hardware' my machine reports it as VL80x xHCI USB 3.0 Controller from VIA Techologies.
Searching for a VL80x card on Amazon didn't get me anything useful; in the end I plumped for this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JEVLCZI
.. which has the Renesas µPD720202 chipset, and despite multiple attempts to get it working I failed miserably in Ubuntu 15.04 (Google wasn't particularly helpful). I have now returned that and ordered this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00B6ZCNGM
.. which gets good reviews including from Linux users, so I'll see how I do there. (I note that both are Inateck cards.)
Thanks for the help. Hopefully I'll get there in the end!
