I don't know from first hand experience, but it sounded like that: * "Overall plan": Will the kernel USB scanner driver stay and be kept current? I'm asking because SANE has now support for libusb. While libusb has its problems (especially regarding permissions), it can support any scanner. I would rather stay with both access methods in SANE but that only works if the scanner driver is kept rather current. If the user needs patches for hhis scanner, the libusb approach is easier. Henning, can you confirm that you can use SANE without the scanner kernel module?
