That's a copy of the sane-sharp man page.

I'm afraid that no scanner supported by the the sane-sharp backend 
provides any ethernet interface, neither does the backend its provide 
any networking support. But the backend can be used like every other 
Sane backend by the saned daemon and its counterpart, the net backend.
