I could meanwhile confirm that under Linux, the device is reset, even if the executing user is not root. Kernel log using Linux is as follows: [1264819.538395] usb 2-1.1: reset high-speed USB device number 54 using ehci-pci UID was definitely not 0, as stated in my other e-mail: DEBUG: Executing libusb_reset_device() [UID=1000, effective UID=1000] DEBUG: libusb_reset_device() executed successfully. Thus Linux definitely behaves differently here. My question is: Can and/or should FreeBSD be fixed to allow libusb_reset_device() as a user or should a driver library be fixed to not use that call. This issue may also affect other device drivers that run in userspace and might not be limited to the issues with the LimeSDR Mini. The documentation (man page) and return value of libusb_reset_device() does not reflect its (deviant) behavior under FreeBSD (compared to Linux). Kind regards, Jan Behrens
