(sigh) Just last night I had to reboot into 2.4 to use my new USB
scanner.

I tried for a while to get it working under 2.6. I'm not exactly a
beginner at this stuff either.

With 2.4 it took less than 30 seconds and worked perfectly, following
the SANE documentation instructions. My user space is Fedora Core 1
with all available updates.

So, what are you all using / recommending for user space configuration
and control of a USB scanner under 2.6?

http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/docs/post-halloween-2.6.txt doesn't say a
word about USB scanners, and I havn't seen the issue mentioned anywhere
else either.
