The hotplug system wasn't able to detect my scanner correctly before the following line was added: scanner 0x0003 0x05d8 0x4002 (all other fields are zero) I hope this line could be added to the core-system configuration files. The scanner is an 'Mustek ScanExpress 1200 UB Plus flatbed scanner'. It doesn't have a power cord, but uses the USB interface instead. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: My /etc/sane.d/gt68xx.conf also required a few modifications to work with the scanner, but perhaps this should be submitted in a different bug-report (?) usb 0x05d8 0x4002 override "mustek-scanexpress-1200-ub-plus" firmware "/usr/share/sane/gt68xx/SBfw.usb" afe 0x20 0x02 0x22 0x03 0x1f 0x04 device /dev/usb/scanner0 The SBfw.usb file was found on my Windows XP partition, even though Windows XP isn't able to interact with the scanner at all. ;-) (Windows 98 worked fine)
There is no more USB scanner driver, so you don't need it loaded :) Just use the lastes sane code, which uses usbfs to talk to the device.
