Re: software unplug and plug USB

[Miguel <mc354@tid.es>]

I also have a mobile phone connected, a gps and a keyboard, i do the
following:


ecar@ecar:~$ lsmod | grep usb
usbserial              29928  1 pl2303
usbtouchscreen          8708  0 
usbcore               130304  7
libusual,pl2303,usbserial,usbtouchscreen,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd
ecar@ecar:~$ rmmod pl2303
ERROR: Removing 'pl2303': Operation not permitted
ecar@ecar:~$ sudo rmmod pl2303
ecar@ecar:~$ sudo rmmod usbserial
ecar@ecar:~$ modprobe usbserial

ecar@ecar:~$ sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1003
ecar@ecar:~$ lsmod | grep usb
usbserial              29928  0

usbcore               130304  6
usbserial,libusual,usbtouchscreen,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd


but only when I unplug and plug manually, the modem starts up ...
Because of that i wanted to unplug/plug via scripting (software way)
