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. -- Brian Ristuccia [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
