[sane-devel] niash:libusb:002:005 failed: Device busy

Nice post.

Sadly this does not seem to help for all scanners.

I did the change you suggested , recomp, reboot and my scanner locks up  
just the same.

Shame it did not do it for canoscan.

I would suggest you look into the code a bit more seriously before  
suggesting it as a fix to be integrated into the kernel. You cant just  
hack code like that without looking at the consenquences. At least not if  
you expect to have a stable kernel.

I'd rather have a scanner the dont scan than an OS like win9x. Get the  
point?

Maybe that is why devs at that have not done it yet. The evenual code fix  
will need to be more thorough.

Regards.
