Hi all; I just had to reboot in order to get my usb stuff properly enumerated again, a power bump that killed an unprotected hub for 2 seconds caused everthing on that hub to be lost. And when I replugged the cables in order to trigger new discovery, the ttyUSB# changed from 1 to 2, which in turn killed 2 of my scripts. So 3 questions: 1. will we ever, what, 13 years after usb is everywhere, have a consistent discovery & enumeration process? 2. Is there some way I can rewrite my scripts to find the device regardless of its being assigned /dev/ttyUSB1 or /dev/ttyUSB2, and can the same technique reliably find an Epson NX515 and Brother HL2140 printers? 3. Is there a way to do a cold 'restart' the USB subsystem, to make it do the equ of a reboot, without having to reboot the whole machine? I have enough custom scripts running here that a full restart takes at least an extra 10-15 minutes for the stuff that can't be put in rc.local because X isn't running when that file is sourced. Thanks all. Cheers, gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
