Hi, (system: redhat 7.2, 2.4.9-13 kernel) I just bought this usb scanner (medion md 9458, an "aldi" scanner) but I am not able to get it to work. When I do "/cat/proc/usb/devices" I see the vendor type is 0x05d8 and the product is 0x4002. Now I've searched the list and this seems to be the lifetec thingie. So I tried the following:
/sbin/modprobe scanner vendor=0x05d8 product=0x4002 to force the scanner module to take these arguments, and then I get in the messages file: usb.c: registered new driver usbscanner scanner.c: probe_scanner: User specified USB scanner -- Vendor:Product - 5d8:4002 scanner.c: probe_scanner: Only two or three endpoints supported. scanner.c: USB Scanner support registered. /sbin/lsmod shows: scanner 7808 0 (unused) usb-uhci 20708 0 (unused) usbcore 49920 0 [scanner usb-uhci] But still sane does not see my scanner (tried both sane-find-scanner and scanimage -L) ... Then I searched a little more and found a driver (gt6801) at http://www.btinternet.com/~salet/ but the userspace code requires a windows firmware file (gt680xfw.usb), but since I don't have windows ... Now I would like to know: does anybody ever had any luck to get such an usb scanner to work? If so, please let me know how, and send me that darn windows file as well :) Or is it better to just return the scanner or install windows to get it to work?
