How to completely reset a dongle from software?
Hello,
Is there a way to perform a full reset of a USB dongle without unplugging it, but having the very same effects than if it was physically unplugged and plugged back again?
I encountered some firmware jams with my dongles, and the only solution to get them back to work again was to etither unplug them or to reboot the machine. This is quite annoying for some applications where system has to be up as much as possible, and has to self-recover unattented if something goes wrong.

if it is a csr chip, you can enable bccmd in bluez-utils and use it to reset the chip. It might take two attempts to actually reset.

Very interesting. Unfortunately, the dongles I'm working with at the moment are all broadcom-based. Does the same tool/functionnality exist for this brand of devices?
