The camera is definitely a USB 3.0 only camera. I had also tried with a two USB sticks, one regular (I assume it should be usb2) and another USB stick which has USB 3.0 support. None of them seems to work with the extension board. The board has four “Renesas / NEC - µPD720202” chipset. The full specs should be found here: https://www.startech.com/ca/Cards-Adapters/USB-3.0/Cards/PCI-Express-USB-3-Card-4-Dedicated-Channels-4-Port~PEXUSB3S44V. This is the board that I do have.
I had run dmesg today, and I noticed some errors (see lines 44, 70, 96 and 122):
