+/* usbreset -- send a USB port reset to a USB device */

+
+There is a way to suspend a USB device. In order to use it,
+you must have a kernel with CONFIG_PM_SYSFS_DEPRECATED turned on. To
+suspend a device, do (as root):
+
+ echo -n 2 >/sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/state
+
+where the "..." is the ID for your device. To unsuspend, do the same
+thing but with a "0" instead of the "2" above.
+
+Note that this mechanism is slated to be removed from the kernel within
+the next year. Hopefully some other mechanism will take its place.
+
+> To reset a
+> device?
+
+Here's a program to do it. You invoke it as either
+
+ usbreset /proc/bus/usb/BBB/DDD
+or
+ usbreset /dev/usbB.D
+
+depending on how your system is set up, where BBB and DDD are the bus and
+device address numbers.
