Yes, it's possible. However Linux does not include a good way to do it. In principle one could write a program that would use usbfs to unbind the hub driver from the hub and then send the hub a command to power-off the port. Doing this would, however, compromise the system's ability to handle all the other ports on the hub. And by the way, disabling a port is not the same as turning off its Vbus power supply. Those are two different operations. Alan Stern ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
