A small shell script for resetting host controller interface. Comes handy when USB devices don't get recognized and only a system restart can solve it but you don't want to restart your pc yet.
This script resets all USB ports by unbinding and re-binding the host controller interface.
Make this shell script executable first. Then call it with sudo:
sudo ./usb_kernel_reset.sh
