Hi,
I've got a Falcom Samba 75 USB modem that I'm using on a
system running
netbsd-3.0_branch. I'm using it to connect to the internet
with GPRS and
I've got a script which loops to reconnect if the connection
fails.
My problem is that at some point after a connection failure
when pppd is
restarted in the script to connect again I get pppd
compaining about an
"inappropriate ioctl for device".
It looks like the modem has locked up and only unplugging
it, replugging it
gets it working again. Now I know that the question about
power cycling a
USB powered device has been asked before some time back and
there seemed to
be no way of doing it from user space.
Does anyone know if its at all possible now?
Thanks,
Brad
