Oh, so wrong!

USB1.1 = 12mbps
USB2.0 (full speed) = 12mbps
USB2.0 (high speed) = 480mbps

Bloddy rediculous, but there you go!

How to check if you have 'high speed':

From the first image you posted it looks like your primary USB port is 'enhanced' and is capable of 'high speed'. However, the hub is only 'full speed' and this is why you're seeing the initial warning. Sounds like Dell made a big boo boo here! Your only hope is to find a USB port that doesn't go via the hub. Check the manual.
