Re: Re-attaching USB Device from the Commandline
is there a way to re-attach a USB device (in my example; USB Keyboard) from the Commandline, so that to the System it appears just as if i had unplugged and replugged it? I am trying to work around a Problem i am experiencing, where a certain other Device only works right if i FIRST plug in a USB Keyboard, and the other one second. If i could script it so that even when the machine reboots, my script basically detaches my two USB Devices, then attaches the first one, then the second one, i think i can work around my above issue. Its a nasty way of doing things, but right now i am in urgent need of a solution, even if it is ugly. No, there is no such mechanism. It will be better to find fix the real problem.

Even though it works elsewhere, it is very possible that the Reader i am trying to get working is garbage, in which case maybe there is not much i can do, except trying to find some workaround, or spend more money to get a better Reader than i have.
Re-attaching USB Device from the Commandline
Hello, is there a way to re-attach a USB device (in my example; USB Keyboard) from the Commandline, so that to the System it appears just as if i had unplugged and replugged it? I am trying to work around a Problem i am experiencing, where a certain other Device only works right if i FIRST plug in a USB Keyboard, and the other one second. If i could script it so that even when the machine reboots, my script basically detaches my two USB Devices, then attaches the first one, then the second one, i think i can work around my above issue. Its a nasty way of doing things, but right now i am in urgent need of a solution, even if it is ugly. Thanks, David
