Yeah, I hear you there.

Any suggestions (from anyone) on how to manually stop and start the usb 
subsystem?  I found these commands but have had only limited success:

sudo rmmod usb-uhci ehci-hcd hid
sudo modprobe usb-uhci hid

I believe it's supposed to unload the module for USB and then reload it 
in the second command.  I still had to reboot to connect a USB mouse to 
my laptop this morning.  :(

Thanks much!
