Thanks to the support of a few testers, especially S. Lipinski, I have been able to isolate the command sequence which gets the ADF working. Basically, the driver needs to send a reset command to the scanner, potentially solving both the initial ADF not working issue and the ADF failure after scanning a few pages. Although I now know the right sequence to send, I still have to work through a rather annoying trial and error process of testing. This process is being tracked in the Alioth bug system.
If you are able to download, patch, compile, and install sane- backends, please try out patch #5 from the bug, and post the results of the debug log to the bug system.
