How do I remove a root usb hub from my computer

Here is my lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 008: ID 05e3:0606 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 2.0 Hub / D-Link DUB-H4 USB 2.0 Hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 8564:1000
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 152d:2338 JMicron Technology Corp. / JMicron USA Technology Corp. JM20337 Hi-Speed USB to SATA & PATA Combo Bridge
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 058f:6335 Alcor Micro Corp. SD/MMC Card Reader
Bus 002 Device 007: ID 05e3:0505 Genesys Logic, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 05e3:0606 Genesys Logic, Inc. USB 2.0 Hub / D-Link DUB-H4 USB 2.0 Hub
I want to remove the Linux Foundation 1.1 root hubs so that my Genesys Logic USB 2.0 Hub will use the Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub.
I want to do this interactively and also be able to re-enable the 1.1 root hubs
I found this:
ls -al /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb5/remove
--w------- 1 root root 4096 Apr 25 20:37 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb5/remove
echo 1 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb5/remove
bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
I am assuming that the remove file is there for the purpose I am asking about, since a similar ability is in the MS Windows Device manager.
But I could not find anywhere what valid argument is.

I discovered with usbmon that usb ports are not hardwired to a specific hub. That these hubs are virtual. That is why I want to gain control over them, so a particular bus does not take control.

  • Hi, I have a specific website that keeps blocking me from going to website I want to view.  It is called vnebo.pro or mobi. I also have a pc computer with Kaspersky and it blocks it.  How do I remove it or block it from my computer.

    Hi,
    I have a specific website that keeps blocking me from going to website I want to view.  It is called vnebo.pro or mobi. I also have a pc computer with Kaspersky and it blocks it.  How do I remove it or block it from my computer?  It only appears at my home, when I use my mac at other places I don't have a problem.
    Thanks for any help!

    Thank you for the reply. I wanted to wait awhile in order to ensure that this corrected the issue. For a brief while, it did! However, it did not take long before the screen began once again hijacking my home button presses. This occurs even with Firefox removed from default applications ( triple-checked ).
    This never happened before version 35.

  • How do I remove firefox 3.0.9 from my computer?

    I went to the uninstall a program place w/nothing else happening on my computer. I had removed some games, that was no problem. When I tried to uninstall firefox 3.0.9 the hourglass flashed at me a couple times and nothing else happened. I gave it an hour tried again. Still nothing. The computer is currently running windows 7 home premium
    I think the system was windows XP when firefox was installed

    Are the Firefox 3.0.9 files still present on the computer?
    It happens often that the updater leaves behind uninstall entries of a previous Firefox version in the Windows registry and fails to remove them.

    Depending on how you created your account, "None" may or may not be an option. I believe it has something to do with whether the account was made through an App Store request or the regular iTunes Store. For example, my account allows no card but my father's doesn't allow there to be no card.
    To change the card, go to your account settings and change the information to your new card, and hit save.

  • How do i remove my old Apple Id from iPhone's iCloud setting which does not exist anymore

    Purchased new iphone 5s, installed with itunes restoring backup from iphone 4 (which was too old a backup). It restored an old apple id (which i do not use anymore) in the iCloud settings while having my new Apple Id in the Itunes & App Store. I cannot turn off the iCloud setting due to old AppleId popping up - which does not exist.. How do i remove the old Apple Id from icloud setting on the phone.
    I cannot erase the phone as it asks for the password for the old Apple Id. And i cannot do the restore again (after i made a recent back up my iphone 4) as itunes asks me to turn off Find my phone.

    The Apple ID exists. The email address you used to create it may not, but the Apple ID does. Call AppleCare and ask to speak to someone in account security.

  • How do i remove my e mail address from my i message

    Can anyone tell me how I can remove my e mail address from my i mail, was notified by friends that everytime I i mail them my full e mail address shows instead of my name as usual?????
    Hope somebody can help

    Perhaps I don't understand your question.  Above you mention "i mail"; I'm assuming you meant "iMessage".  If that is want you meant, then have you turned iMessage to On in Settings>Messages?  And if so, does it say anything just below the iMessage On/Off button (such as "waiting for activation")?

  • How do I remove an unwanted Airport Express from my network?

    I have been using a Time Capsule for several years.  I am having trouble backing up to my Time Capsule.  I have discovered an unknown Airport Express in my network.  I've changed networks, added passwords to the network, etc.  How do I remove this unwanted Airport Express from my network?  I think he is wreaking havoc with my system!!  Help...

    Maybe this is an issue I should consult my ISP about??
    No question about that. If you can "see" Travis's device, then he can likely "see" your Time Capsule.
    I'm just concerned that whomever the APExpress belongs to could be changing settings on my computer or Time Capsule that would cause the issues with me not being able to backup.
    Make sure that you have a Time Capsule base station password. Unless a user has that password, they might be able to "see" your Time Capsule, but they cannot access any of the data on the Time Capsule or change the settings.
    Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
    Then, click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to see the device name and password for your device. Make sure that you have entered the password and confirmed. Click Update if you have made any changes.
    The message I get is "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk.  The problem may be temporary.  Try again later to back up.  If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
    I am not sure what this error means, because I cannot duplicate it here to test.
    If it were me, I would try this "fix".

  • How do I remove an empty gmail folder from my iPad2?

    How do I remove an empty gmail folder from my iPad2?

    I Think that you had a corrupt email or an email with a really large attachment in that folder and it is now causing the mail app to crash. When the app closes and goes back to the home screen, that is an app crashing. I would try to delete this folder on the server. Log into your Gmail in a web browser and try to delete it there. If you delete it there, that will delete it on the iPad.
