OK, it was at the shop.
While testing USB ports, first 2 devices worked as they should, but the 3rd
gave the symptoms I told about.
At them, the network port worked as expected, but as ALL USB ports gave the
same behacior, the swapped mobo...
Got it back, connected it, and also the net worked, so there was something
funky about that too....
Now it works, with the new mobo..
