After recompiling and checking again I can't reproduce the problems
neither with libusb nor the scanner driver.

I did create a device node manually (180/0) for testing. Maybe there
was a typo in the mknod command or something like that. Now it works.

Same for the libusb trouble. No problems anymore, even with dynamic
minors turned on and devfs turned off.

Just ignore my report :-)

Anyway, maybe add a line of warning to the dynamic minors help in
Kconfig?

Bye,
  Henning
