I have an add-on usb3 adapter (based on ASMedia ASM1042 usb chip, using xhci |
2 |
kernel driver), which I dearly love except for one very annoying 'feature' ;) |

When I power up the outboard hard-disk docking station (plugged into the usb3 |
5 |
adapter) the computer never sees the docking station or its hard disk until |
6 |
I reboot the computer. Something in the BIOS apparently resets some hardware |
7 |
thingy, and then it all works extremely well thereafter. |

Having to reboot the computer to use a usb docking station kinda defeats the |
10 |
whole point of usb. (Or am I just being grumpy? :) |

Can anyone think of some trick I could use in lieu of rebooting to get the |
13 |
adapter/disk combination properly initialized? |

Any hints would be very much appreciated. |
