[Vectorlinux-devel] udev and usb scanners

[Jose J. R. <jo...@gm...>]

IIRC, Johnvan stated last night after trying vec's kernel 2.6.16 +
udev packages that his usb scanner didn't work. I searched for some
info on this and found the following:

"The usb scanner driver has recently been removed from the kernel and
re-implemented in userspace (as part of the SANE package). You do not
(and can not) write rules for this hardware as it does not rely on
specific kernel drivers."

This is from the latest "Writing udev rules" document at
http://reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html.
