That's what you get for running bleeding edge ;-)

I'm using Debian testing, kernel 2.6.6 with uhci_hcd (and ehci_hcd),
libusb-0.1-4 (0.1.8-11) and will see if I can lay my hands on a
Perfection 2450.

The USB modules are autoprobed, I don't have anything USB related in
my /etc/modules-2.6.  There is an usb-uhci in my /etc/modules but IIRC
that file is not used if /etc/modules-2.6 exists.

As I'm using the same libusb as you do, I am sceptical about libusb
being the culprit.  Apart from the usb module and scanner model, we
use the same setup.  I'll get back with the results on the Perfection
2450 ASAP.
