Manual driver binding and unbinding

I have an NVR that was working fine until last night. Now it's saying Device Binded. I searched it and this site came up. Can anyone tell me if it can be unbinded? Thank you in advance.

I've got Fedora Core development kernel 2.6.14-1.1707_FC5smp. I tried the directions here to unbind the usbfs driver from my scanner. After doing so, "lsusb" indeed shows "Driver=(none)", but when I look in /sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2:1.0, the directory for the scanner device, I see that it still has a driver link pointing back at the usbfs driver, and /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbfs still has a link pointing at the device. Furthermore, I still can't open the scanner from inside vmware, so it appears that the unbind didn't completely "take." Any ideas?

This'll very _very_ handy for USB virtualisation under Xen - we'll be able
to unbind a device from the "host" kernel and plumb it through the USB
virtualising driver and into a guest kernel. Great stuff!

Last paragraph, it's not 'dynamic_id', but should be 'new_id'.
