7     There is a way to suspend a USB device. In order to use it,
8     you must have a kernel with CONFIG_PM_SYSFS_DEPRECATED turned on. To
9     suspend a device, do (as root):
10    
11     echo -n 2 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/state
12    
13     where the "..." is the ID for your device. To unsuspend, do the same
14     thing but with a "0" instead of the "2" above.
15    
16     Note that this mechanism is slated to be removed from the kernel within
17     the next year. Hopefully some other mechanism will take its place.
18    
19     > To reset a
20     > device?
21    
22     Here's a program to do it. You invoke it as either
23    
24     usbreset /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD
25     or
26     usbreset /dev/usbB.D
27    
28     depending on how your system is set up, where BBB and DDD are the bus and
29     device address numbers.
