[sane-devel] Has anyone managed to get Snapscan backend working with FreeBSD 8.0 (which uses libusb)?

My snapscan.conf is correct, it only contains the firmware line and vendor
and product ID, sorry for not mentioning this in my first posting.

In the meantime, another FreeBSD user found a way to fix it, it is just a
one-line patch:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-usb/2010-January/008172.html

With Andrew's patch, my scanner now works:
 root at kg-v2# sane-find-scanner -q
found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [HP], product=0xc202 [Photosmart 8200
series]) at libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen1.2
found USB scanner (vendor=0x06bd [AGFA], product=0x2061 [ Snapscan1212u_2])
at libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen2.2
root at kg-v2# scanimage -L
device `snapscan:libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen2.2' is a AGFA SNAPSCAN 1212U_2
flatbed scanner

and also as a normal user:
tingo at kg-v2$ scanimage -L
device `snapscan:libusb:/dev/usb:/dev/ugen2.2' is a AGFA SNAPSCAN 1212U_2
flatbed scanner
