Unload and reload the USB driver while the device is attached

Hi,

Is there's a way to silently unload and load a USB device driver when the
USB device is attached? We're trying to work around a problem related to a
3rd party USB driver that seems to be taking up all the USB bandwidth when
the device is attached. We don't have the source code to the driver, and we
don't want our users to have to unplug the USB device every time they wan to
use the system with other USB devices like USB printers or USB flash drives.
It looks like the only way to solve this problem is somehow unload the
driver and only load the driver when it is needed.

Thanks,

Jay
