Did I tell you that Eddy de Greef compiled a copy of libsane-gt68xx with
libusb support but when I did a ldd on the on the original libsane-gt68xx
it showed no support for libsane.  Does this mean that the 'overall'
pacakage, that I downloaded from the site that supports SuSE, doesn't
support libusb and will therefore not support libusb?

I did try installing a rpm version of kernel 2.4.21 but it overwrites my
2nd PCMCIA wireless card.

Any ideas?
