Hi Edouard, Thanks for your reply. I'm glad to here that it is possible to reset the device in GNU\Linux at least.
I don't think that function exists yet in *BSD, but from my very basic knowledge it looks like there are commands to reset ports, and change their power state within the *BSD driver. I will ask the maintainers of the *BSD USB system, and see if they can help - if not it looks like a long weekend of reading specs :-) Nick. -----Original Message----- From: Edouard Gomez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 03 January 2003 12:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [speedtouch] Re: Reset modem/usb in OpenBSD (or NetBSD) Quoting Nick Forbes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > The best solution would be to reset the usb port/modem so that other > usb devicesare not affected.

It appears my modem was reseting randomly so neither i commited it to the CVS nor i published a patch on the list. At this time, i asked francois to find the equivalent ioctl call on BSD systems, and it was not implemented at all (6 or 8 months ago) so i doubt we will succeed in resting this modem the right way (not the GNU/Linux way). There's probably some voodoo command to send to the modem through the USB to reset it... but as you know we have not the specs of the modem, so we gave up. But you're welcome, a good start would be to see if the BSD equivalent of the Linux USBDEVFS_RESET ioctl now exists. And then play with it like i did and see if you have more luck than i had :-) -- Edouard Gomez Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se d�sinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe ___________________________________________________________ VirusChecked for Citigate Marchcom by the Incepta Group plc ___________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ VirusChecked for Citigate Marchcom by the Incepta Group plc ___________________________________________________________ Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se d�sinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe
