Just looking for a pointer or if it's possible to reset an usb device in terminal.

I have a usb network device that needs to be restarted every now and then. And the ordinary ifconfig en0 down && ifconfig en0 up won't really work. So, I'm wondering if there is a way to reset the entire USB device.

In linux I would solve it with modprobe or similar.

Thanks.

@Triks, I don't understand why can you just umount the device and re-mount it again, why do you need to unload the module and re-load it? – Anders Aug 2 '10 at 21:20
