Hi,
I'm learning about USB drivers and I would like to know about disconnecting and reconnecting usb devices.
I can see my probe function being called and also the disconnect function. But if I reconnect the device there is no call from the kernel to notify my driver about the device being reconnected.
That's not good, your driver should be told this.
I can also see that the module for my driver was not unloaded, so I dont understand the life cycle of a USB device.
Modules are never auto-unloaded.
If the module is not unloaded at disconnection and re-loaded for a new device being connected, how can the driver know the device is there after a disconnection?
The probe function should be called, are you sure it isn't?
Thanks Lucas
This is my dmesg for the driver at the end of this email:
