Not because of FreeBSD, but because of broken scanners around that work well with libusb but not with /dev/uscannerX. If someone owns such a scanner, he has to build a kernel without uscanner. On the other hand, if uscanner was not part of GENERIC and someone neede it, he/she just would load the module. I know that we had the discussion before. Maybe in december I will be able to get a pile of scanners for testing with Linux and FreeBSD and maybe then I will be able supply the uscanner-people with additional information. Thanks, Mattias @Bernd Walter: I did not forget our previous discussion, it is just that my schedule is very tight for the moment. -- Mattias Schlenker / Tel 0851 9441369 oder 0160 7352988 Freyunger Str. 42 / http://ilw.schlenker-webdesign.de/ 94034 Passau / http://mattlog.schlenker-webdesign.de/
