Thanks for all responses. The patch was accepted and is included in Linux 2.4.21-pre3. Also in 2.4.21-pre3 are some other patches related to scanners: * Devices without a bulk-out endpoint are now supported (e.g. Gt6801-based scanners like Artec Ultima 2000, Mustek ScanExpress 1200 UB Plus, Bearpaw 1200 CU and clones) * Devices with more than one interface should work now (multi-function periphals) * The ugly message "Unable to access minor data" isn't printed anymore. That speeds up scanner detection considerably. * Unplugging opened devices doesn't result in use counts that don't decrease any longer. However, the crash on writing to unplugged devices isn't fixed yet. * Documentation was updated. If there are any more patches or ids of devices that should go in, please contact me. Some information is at http://www.meier-geinitz.de/kernel/ . Bye, Henning
