After some more testing it does not work stable, actually, it did make a
scan only once. "scanimage -L" does work, scanning works, but Sane does
not get the data. I did try the latest Linux kernel (2.6.23.1), the
latest Sane (1.0.18) and the latest Avision backend (build 252), but it
did not help. I did try it with Windows and there it works, so it's not
a hardware problem.

René Rebe, the maker of the backend, wrote me he tries to find a
timeslot to work on this problem.
