The -w option must have been eliminated. It caused the shell to wait until the command was done before executing the next command. Perhaps this slightly modified command will work for Natty:

sudo modprobe -r usb_storage; wait; sudo modprobe usb_storage

Yeah; I tried it and got:

modprobe: invalid option -- 'w'
Usage: modprobe [-v] [-V] [-C config-file] [-d ] [-n] [-i] [-q] [-b] [-o ] [ --dump-modversions ] [parameters...]
modprobe -r [-n] [-i] [-v] ...
modprobe -l -t [ -a ...]

11.04 Natty.

The same command also works for me in Lucid (10.04).

Anyway to get this to work on 10.04 LTS? Would be really useful.
