	How do I suspend/sleep/stop a USB device.  This was discussed on the 
list previously with no conclusion.  My situation is a little 
different.  I've got a laptop with a built-in USB camera.  The camera 
physically gets warm to the touch when I'm running FreeBSD.  This 
doesn't matter if I've got usb loaded or not.  Since it is obviously 
drawing a significant amount of power I'd like to be able to turn it 
off.
	How would I get the usb device to suspend?
	In Windows Vista it does not get warm to the touch unless it is 
actually being used to capture video.  So there should be a way to 
suspend the device.

Thanks,
