Mustek 1200 UB scanner

Mustek 1200 UB scanner

[G Anna]

Dear All,

Today I downloaded the linux driver for Mustek 1200 UB scanner (This
is a USB scanner) from

ftp://ftp.mustek.com.tw/pub/driver/1200UB/Linux/V1.0.3/1200ub.tar.gz 

This package has a readme file (readme_English.txt).. In this file
they have mentioned that

(begin-quote)

2. After the kernel upgrade, please mount the USB file system. You can
login root, and type "mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb/." If you
would like to mount the file system automatically, add "action
"Mounting USB File System" mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb" to
your etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.

(end-quote)

When I tried to do the mount manually, I got the following error.

# mount -t usbdevfs none /proc/bus/usb/
mount: mount point /proc/bus/usb/ does not exist

And, sure enough, I didn't have the usb directory under /proc/bus/.  I
tried to do

# pwd
/proc/bus
# mkdir usb
mkdir: cannot create directory `usb': No such file or directory

What am I supposed to do now?  Does anyone have experience in making
the Mustek 1200 UB scanner work under linux?

BTW, I am using RH 7.1 and 

$ uname -a
Linux wobble 2.4.16 #4 Thu May 9 11:19:49 IST 2002 i686 unknown

Thank you for all your help.

Cheers,
anna

Well ... I don't know if you've compiled your own kernel or not. If not, I
don't know what components the stock RH 2.4.16 kernel has included. But I'd
*guess* that your kernel does not include USB filesystem support.

If you're compiling your own kernel, the bits you need are (if you use "make
menuconfig") all under the "USB support" choice, including "Preliminary USB
device filesystem". (I'm basing this on my 2.4.17 source tree, but I doubt
2.4.16 is different in relevant ways.)

Afraid I can't help specifically with the scanner, as I've not tried to hook
up a USB scanner to Linux.
