[sane-devel] about the sane-file for Nikon Coolscan

I see the files: coolscan2.conf, coolscan3.conf and coolscan.conf in my 
sane directory.  I have a Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 ED connected to my 
Dell Latitude 5410.  When I put "scanimage -L" into my terminal I get : 
('v4l:/dev/video0' is a Noname Integrated_Webcam_HD: Integrate virtual 
device) for a response.  I think this is the laptop's camera, not the Nikon.

I am using PCLinuxOS a Mandrake fork, I have xsane and sane installed.  
Checking dmesg, I find no reference to the Nikon Coolscan being 
detected.  I have the SA-21 module plugged in.  I have a new USB to 
Firewire adapter-cable purchased from Amazon connected to the laptop.  I 
had the Nikon turned on prior to turning on the laptop so it would / 
should see the Nikon during boot-up.

Do you have any suggestions for me to try?
