Makes sense. I made some changes and can get the descriptors from a userland program so I know its working (i.e. from userland I can upload firmware and have control over the chip includeing the usb subsystem) but at this point after a reset there is no re-unumeration. It justs lists the original configuration.(using lsusb). Notice I am using ioctl's.
