[Eug-lug] turn off USB device?

[Mr O]

I don't load modules for the majority of my hardware. Generally
build everything into the kernel. Plus that wouldn't necessarily
turn off the device, it'd just make it 'disappear'.

As for "why not unplug it?" Have you seen my desk? I have a USB
scanner, printer, joystick, keyboard, mouse, hub, thumb drives,
camera cable, and card reader. It would be infinitely easier to
create a button on GkrellLaunch to turn the port on and off if
that is feasible. If I ever changed location of the device I
could change the path easily enough.

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 06a3:075c is the device in question :)
