Software based unplug of USB device?

[Joerg Pommnitz]

Hello listees,
we are struggling with a 3rd party USB device. It comes with its own
firmware and its own Linux USB serial drivers. Unfortunately the
communication between the device and the user application seems to break
down from time to time. This situation can easily be resolved by
unplugging and then re-plugging the device. Unfortunately this requires
manual intervention.
While resolving the real issue would be the preferred way to deal with
this problem, we would settle for a way to do a software unplug/re-plug.
Can this be done at all? If so, is there a tool to do this?

A detailed description of our environment:
* Linux 2.4.21 with USB OHCI driver
* Natsemi Geode integrated CPU/Chipset

Thanks in advance
  Joerg
