Hello everyone,

I've got an "interesting" problem. I have a linux machine (Ubuntu 7.10)
with a USB device plugged into it, powered by the USB port.

There are cases where I'd like to cause the device to re-enumerate. The
easiest way is just unplugging it and plugging it back in.

Unfortunately since this machine must be remotely accessible I need a
way to do the equivalent through software.

Rebooting the machine is not an option.

Is there a call in Linux that will cause a USB port to shut down and
start up again? Alternatively is there a way to cause all of USB to
re-enumerate, through software?

I've tried google but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

Thanks, TTYL
