Thanks for the suggestion. I compiled the tool fom Greg's repository and ran it 100 times in a loop, but the descriptors remained unchanged. I only got "reset USB device" messages in dmesg and class driver noise. I had no luck playing with sysfs entries of the device, but I found that the parent hub allows me to disable/enable individual ports. There is some subtlely in USB 3.0 as the associated 2.0 port must be disabled first to prevent downgrading to high speed, but it works. Curiously though, it doesn't have the same effect as reloading the host driver. My buggy device randomly comes back with good descriptors, with the same bad descriptors, or most often it doesn't come back at all. Regards, Michal
