Hello having issues running both repeaters for some reason it is telling me that Device usb27103 currently not active what does this mean? its all plugged in was working then all the suddenly stopped working randomly is it not detecting the device number correctly with the URI? I am running 2 Cm200 on vhf for this repeater and node 29925 is running flawlessly with out any issues with 2 Cm200 on UHF

Sometimes, things happen. Some software bug causes the usb daemon to fall, or something...

On that note, I did a quick google search for start/stop/status on usb devices for CentOS and came up with

http://www.zedt.eu/tech/linux/restarting-usb-subsystem-centos/

Their suggestion of looking in

/sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd
      or xhci_hcd doesn't exist in my directory path.  So, I did a
      'lsusb' and came up with:

      [root@W5OMR /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbfs]# lsusb

      Bus 005 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  

      Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0d8c:013a C-Media Electronics, Inc. 

      Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0d8c:013a C-Media Electronics, Inc. 

      Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c31c Logitech, Inc. Keyboard K120 for
      Business

      Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  

      Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  

      Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  

      Bus 004 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

From the link, they suggest;



      

      echo -n "0000:00:xx.y" > unbind

Remember to enable them back:

echo -n "0000:00:xx.y" > bind

where instead of xx.y you fill in the correct set of numbers to use the IDs discovered above.

This procedure is the same for all RHEL-like distributions (Red Hat Enterprise, CentOS, Fedora).

The bottom line is, there's hardly ever a reason to reboot an entire working Linux operating system loaded machine.
Services can stopped and restarted from the command line without the need to reboot the entire system.

I have had, on occasion, the need to restart the networking sub-system. By performing a

root@w5omr> /etc/init.d/networking restart

takes care of that problem.

Just my 0.02c
