Hi,

I have USB modem connected to my linux box. My linux machine is powered on all the time. sometimes USB modem is not working, i need to physically remove the modem and insert it to work properly. HOw to restart the USB powered devices, without removing it physically. Is it possible to switch off the USB port and switch on it again.

Thanks and Regards,

hmm, this is actually a good question. On windows, the easy to access facility of simply disabling then enabling the device does the trick.
On my linux box I hadn't needed to require that yet, so don't know the equivalent !! my bad.
 

Thanks for your kind reply xaccto & tpetar.
