   I run at night. When I finish I come home and connect   
   my Garmin 305 Forerunner to track my results. Last Thursday   
   when I connected the Garmin I found the USB device   
   was busy. After a few tries of connecting and disconnecting   
   I wanted to go to sleep so I left the problem for Friday   
   morning.   
      
   Friday morning the Garmin connected without any problems.   
      
   After running last night the Garmin would not connect again.   
      
   This time I tracked the problem down to what happens when   
   the Garmin is connected: now a directory  /sys/bus/usb/drivers/garmin_gps   
   is created. Prior to this that directory was not present.   
      
   In 15.2, USB devices lock up USB storage and you have to   
   (open) unbind that lockup with a command such as:   
      
   echo -n SOMETHING >/sys/bus/usb/drivers/SOMEWHERE/unbind   
      
   For my Garmin device SOMETHING is (usually) 1-11:1.0:   
   and the SOMEWHERE was usb. Now SOMEWHERE has to be   
   garmin_gps.   
      
   My problem is that nothing was intentionally changed between Tuesday   
   last and last Thursday in my system. Nor was anything changed between   
   last Thursday night and last Friday morning, nor any change over the   
   weekend.   
      
   What could possibly describe the intermittent changes to   
   the USB device connection?
