This is the output I see when they disconnect and LEDs go out:

Jun 25 10:42:52 vdr-tng kernel: hub 4-0:1.0: state 7 ports 6 chg 0000 evt 0006
Jun 25 10:42:52 vdr-tng kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.3: GetStatus port 1 status

Jun 25 10:42:52 vdr-tng kernel: usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 2

pipe c0008200 ep1out-bulk

At this point, the LEDs are out but all of the device files are still there. 
Anything that tries to access them hangs nicely...

I hate USB...PCI cards tend to just work! Unfortunately, I only have one PCI 
slot in that system and htat already has a DVB card in it!

:(
