Will remove IDs from lvstest and then will use this new_id mechanism to call the probe. something like this should work: echo 2-0:1.0 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/hub/unbind echo "1D6B 3" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/lvs/new_id Regards Pratyush -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
