When I plug in my device which is USB 2.0 into a 3.0 slot (cause that is all I have) [495042.943074] usb 5-2: new low-speed USB device number 6 using xhci_hcd [495043.100076] usb 5-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
I receive the above error.
Is there a flag or setting that tells the USB to in a 2.0 mode ?
I'm no expert, and I don't know the answer, here is an idea: are you using a USB3 cable for this? If so, might it be worth trying a USB2 cable instead?
Also, are you sure that the device itself is working correctly? Try it on a different system on usb2 and usb3? try it on this same system in a usb2 port (temporarily, since you have no spare usb2 ports).
