John. That's a bit depending on your distribution. You can put "options scanner vendor=0x048b product=0x011e" in /etc/modules.conf to avoid entering the option numbers every time. For autoloading the driver, you can put "scanner" in /etc/modules (Debian) or "modprobe scanner" in a start-up file like boot.local in /etc/init.d. If you use hotplug utilities you will need to add the vendor and device ids to its list so the scanner module is loaded automatically. But I don't know details about this way. Bye, Henning
