This sounds like an old module name. Two usb module names I
can see are "usb-storage" and "scanner".

It doesn't matter.

Don't know.

With regard to SANE_SG_BUFFERSIZE, you can see it
in the lk 2.4 series by doing 'cat /proc/scsi/sg/debug'
while SANE has your scanner's attention. The "bufflen"
and "blen" values are of interest. 32768 is the default
value for the sg driver so setting that size shouldn't
have much impact.Anyway, that value is only fine tuning;
it sounds like you have more serious problems, in which
case SANE_SG_BUFFERSIZE is irrelevant.
