These are hexadecimal (base 16) numbers so you probably need to prefix them with "0x", ie: modprobe scanner vendor=0x3f0 product=0x605 Prefixing something with just '0' denotes it as an octal (base 8) number if I remember correctly, so it would balk on the f. Of course, I'm open to corrections - modprobe may work differently, but I can't think of any reason why it would. - Matthew
