That means: If you run "modprobe scanner", automatically use the options you provided. So you don't need to type them everytime. However, you still must run "modprobe scanner". > Eventually I noticed that with lsmod, the name of the module was "scanner" > and > I added in /etc/modules.conf two lines instead of one: > > alias /dev/usb/scanner0 scanner Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that will achieve anything. If you do "rmmod scanner", then run "scanimage -L", that really works? It doesn't work here. Usually, there are two approaches to load the scanner driver when booting: * Put "scanner" in /etc/modules (works on Debian and Mandrake) * Add "modprobe scanner" to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or similar (RedHat) Automatic loading works with the hotplug utilities.
