I run a usb3-hub on the rpi. Strange that it shouldnt work. Maye your cant speak usb2 and mine can?
There are exceptions to every rule. The general concensus is that rPi won't work with 3.0. If you made it work, how about sharing how? any Hub in particular?
Its this one:
7 Port USB 3 HubI keep it because i wanted a usb 3 hub that works passive and active. This is the only one that has so many connectors and is able to do this. I tried many types from Anker and more but this is the only one. I didnt find a downside yet.
I have the miner and the hub on the rpi and on the hub a radio keyboard and a mouse. I didnt find a problem till now and since only the keyboard and mouse are on the hub it can run passive.
