This is your problem. Do NOT name the device node usbscannerX,
otherwise sanei_usb will recognise it as a device from the scanner
driver, and it won't work.

The ioctl() failures should be treated as a real error, there's a bug
in there, as the log shows. The device shouldn't be recognised if
there is a ioctl() failure.

Maybe we should pull the plug on the scanner driver support ?
