I have an add-on usb3 adapter (based on ASMedia ASM1042 usb chip, using xhci kernel driver), which I dearly love except for one very annoying 'feature' ;)
When I power up the outboard hard-disk docking station (plugged into the usb3 adapter) the computer never sees the docking station or its hard disk until I reboot the computer. Something in the BIOS apparently resets some hardware thingy, and then it all works extremely well thereafter. Having to reboot the computer to use a usb docking station kinda defeats the whole point of usb. (Or am I just being grumpy? :) Can anyone think of some trick I could use in lieu of rebooting to get the adapter/disk combination properly initialized? Any hints would be very much appreciated.
