Question on starting and stopping USB devices on linux
Hi,
I am working on Fedora Core 4 running on dell dimension box. I have a USB device that comes up as a serial interface on the linux box (the device comes up as /dev/ttyUSB0). During the operation of the device (I have the ability to program this device) it hangs and only way to restart the USB interface is to remove the device and plug it in again.
Are there generic commands in linux that can start, stop and restart USB serial devices, or do I have to look for controller from the manufacturer of the device.
Just to be more elaborate the device is tmote (an embedded system for sensor networks) developed by moteiv.
Thanks
