[sane-devel] Canon FB630u with Kernel 2.6

[cneugeb@mysc.de]

Hello List,

I have a Canon FB630U scanner and I got it to work with  Sane with 
Linux since kernel 2.4.16

With kernel 2.6 I can not get it to work again.

I asked Nathan Ruthman (the author of the backend) if he has any idea and he answered me that
he got rid of that scanner before kernel 2.6 came out, so he never updated it.

Is this the end of the support for the FB630u?

He told me that there's probably a more universal USB standard for
SANE drivers now; it probably wouldn't take much to
change this driver if you're up for it.

There's just two functions - usb_cmd_write and usb_bulk_write that
would have to wrap a new interface he thinks.

But I have no experience at all in writing drivers.
