Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] udev and usb scanners

[John V. <joh...@sy...>]

I believe the issue is that there are no usb devices in /proc/bus/usb. Sane
looks in here for the available usb ports and checks the vendor device=20
information to determine which driver to use. rc.hotplug must somehow
create the necessary entries. Coldplug and uevent finds my usb mouse and
put info in /proc/pci/input and creates device in /dev/input. They also find
the printer part of my all-in-one Epson CX4600 and creates a device in /dev.
