I want to simulate the effect of unplugging a USB device and plugging it back in without having to physically unplug it. Is it possible to "unplug" a USB device by software actions alone? If so, could someone please tell me how?
In case it matters, I am only using one USB device, so resetting the entire USB subsystem would not be a problem for me. I'm using Linux kernel version 2.6.17 with some patches (applied by Emperor Linux who supplied me a kernel customized for my hardware). My distribution is (except for the kernel) Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. My computer is a Sony Vaio VGN-TX770P. According to "lspci -tv", my USB controller is a "Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller". Thanks for any help! -- Joe Wells P.S. I am not subscribed to linux-usb-users (I read it on the web instead), so I would be grateful if any replies were CC-ed to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
