[sane-devel] Re: usb scanner found by kernel but not by sane?

[Palle Girgensohn]

OK, so I've found it in the "External Backends" department on the web site. 
Seems kinda "not quite simple" to get this working with FreeBSD, since it 
refers to linux kernel patches...? :(

How come the uscanner manual says it is supported? Any ideas?

Thanks,
Palle
