+#  USB Hub Reset Script
+#  -----------------------
+#
+#  The USB hub in the HW23 connects the GNSS modem, the v2x-
+#  module, the user interface and the user module.
+#
+#  During the configuration/start-up the v2x module and the
+#  GNSS modem are interfering. Thus a sequentialized startup
+#  is needed.
+#  This service just powers the USB hub and is the first
+#  service needed if GNSS or in case of HW23 v2x shall work.
