Using modconf I installed 'uhci-hcd' but could not find 'usbfs'.
I've mounted both on /etc/fstab
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb uhci-hcd defaults 0 0
and now I find
Tux:/proc/bus/usb# ls 001 devices
and sane-find-scanner can now FIND it ...

but 'scanimage -L' does not ...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ scanimage -L
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different, check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).
... nor does xsane. ["No devices available"] nor GIMP (File->Acquire->Xsane),
and iscan tells me
"Could not send command to scanner." "Check the scanner's status."
The missing ingredient may be 'usbfs' which should be part of the kernel.
The scanner is plugged in and powered on.
What am I missing here ?

'/proc/bus/usb' is empty.
FWIW, I'm using ker 2.6.5 and Debian unstable. The scanner is the only device I have not Linux-mastered
so far ...
The scanner works on the XP drive.
Even if it doesn't:
An empty '/proc/bus/usb' means that either no USB host controller drivers are loaded (like uhci-hcd) or that usbfs is not mounted. See "man sane-usb" section LIBUSB for details.
