Back in June 2004, Alan Stern answered a question about whether it was possible to power off individual USB ports via /sys with a resounding "No". Has this changed in later kernel versions? I notice there is a devices/*/power/state file which is writeable.
Our particular issue is that we have a USB flash device which sometimes doesn't enumerate, and we're interested in whether there's a (simple) way from user space software to force a re-enumeration of that port only. Currently we have a monolithic kernel, so module unloading is not an option (would that work if it were?).
