You can disconnect any device from the driver by writing the device id to the "unbind" file in the /sys/bus/usb/driver/DRIVER_NAME/ directory in sysfs. Writing a simple shell script to do this for the devices that you care about is left as an exercise for the reader :) > I guess in this way Windows wins - in Windows I can right-click a > device in the device manager and 'disable' it from the drop down menu > on the first properties page. Feel free to write a gui tool that does this too, if you really want it.
