The man page will probably not help. It does not talk about the
format of the entry. Just open the file /etc/hotplug/usb.distmap.
You will see lots of entries, every record starts with the=20
driver name (e.g. scanner), followed a number of numeric values.
I only know what the vendor and product ID are, the others I
just copy from other entries. When you start with a scanner
entry and just replace the vendor and product ID with the data
for your scanner, it will work. That's all you need to know. That's
all I know.=20
