I have a particular appliance which I need to communicate with periodicly.
Unfortunately, the device's other functions do not work when the USB cable
is connected. I'd like to connect it, communicate, kick it off the USB bus,
and then later reconnect it to the bus without having to wire and unwire the
device.

Is there an existing way for me to programaticly disconnect a device from
the USB bus? Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places, but I can't find
anything in the linux USB API.

I can get roughly the behavior I want by installing a seperate USB host for
the device in question and then unloading the driver and powering off the
host. That's a nasty hack. Certainly there must be a better way.
