I downloaded the .1 versions of kernel's 2.6.22 through 2.6.26, and
found that 2.6.25 and above had no changes in the dc395x.c file, but
that a variety of changes were introduced in 2.6.24 and below.  Since
the older dc395x.c doesn't drop into my current 2.6.31 kernel, I tried
recompiling and running 2.6.24 without success.  On Gentoo, the
current udev doesn't work with that older kernel, so things like
networking and X fail to run properly and I was unable to test the
scanner.  Suggestions?
