I've looked for a libusb development package on my SuSE Cds and for a
libusb-devel package to no avail.

Can anyone suggest a way forward for me?

I know that if I use the suse kernel 2.4.21 the scanner is recognised but
it loses sight of my second PCMCIA network card so I can't take that route
easily either.

Again, can anyone off an alternative?
