greetings. i'm working on getting my USB scanner to work. so far i have managed to break a few things =) so i guess that is progress. my first question -- so i know i've got something to work with. are the modules to support a USB scanner built into the mdk kernal? i am using 7.2 this is the only USB device i have, so i don't have any other hardware to plug in. thanks much.
