[sane-devel] Avision FB6080 AE bookscanner

[emmanuel at engelhart.org]

I have an Avision FB6080 at home.
I can confirm that the Avision FB6080 works with Ubuntu.

The only problem I know is that this device is not recognized as 
a scanner, so you have to use it as root or modify the HAL
config file.

See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/378401

It seems to be fixed now in upstream... but currently I'm
still impacted (with 10.04)
