Comment 17 for bug 504440

The fact that it's still possible to disable an internal USB device such that a reboot or opening up the case is required screams very loudly that this issue is NOT settled in the slightest. This should NOT be labeled "WON'T FIX". I've seen references to forcing the operating system to rescan all USB devices to, in effect, unplug and replug idled devices. Does anyone remember what was involved in this? I could have sworn I replied to a thread discussing this, but all the fiddling with Google and the local search engine turns up nothing.
