I thought the total bandwidth available for a controller was different
than the bandwidth at which it communicates with one device.  You're
saying any 1.1 device that uses 12 mbit/s will 100% monopolize a 2.0
controller so no other devices can function?

Taking a different approach, since I have 2 USB controllers (EHCIx1,
OHCIx1) why can't I operate one webcam on one controller and one
webcam on the other controller so they can both function?
