Can you please give some details about this malfuncion? Which scanner and kernel version do you use? > How can I force my kernel (2.4.21) to load scanner.o when device > 180,48 is opened? I think that doesn't work. Maybe the other kernel USB guys know why it doesn't work with USB. As a work-around, you could write a script like that one: #!/bin/bash sudo modprobe scanner xsane sudo rmmod scanner But I really think it's better to fix the actual problem. Have you tried using libusb instead of the kernel scanner driver? At least with the latest SANE packages from http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/sane.html that should work, too.
