--- Comment #40 from J.R. Oldroyd <fbsd@opal.com> ---
I have uploaded the latest versions of these ports.

What is working:
- Native FreeBSD scanner driver (GUI and command-line) for USB scanners not
needing firmware support (which appears to be the majority of scanners).
- Linux back-end for network access to the same set of scanners.
- Also scanning via sane's scanimage program.

What is not working:
- A handful of scanners require a firmware download which is done using a
separate Linux back-end program.  The firmware is there but fails to load in
testing.
- Scanning using xsane.  For scanners that don't require firmware support, =
this
does initiate the scan and send the image to the host, but then xsane core
dumps when updating its Gtk progress bar widget!  Problem in xsane which is
currently unmaintained.

There are 302 USB productIDs listed in the driver as supported.  Of these, =
just
6 appear to require firmware support.
