It finds mine if given it the uscanner device:
% sane-find-scanner /dev/uscanner0
# sane-find-scanner will now attempt to detect your scanner. If the
# result is different from what you expected, first make sure your
# scanner is powered up and properly connected to your computer.
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different, make sure that

found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8, product=0x010a) at /dev/uscanner0
# Your USB scanner was detected. It may or may not be supported by
# SANE. Try scanimage -L and read the backend's manpage.
Instead of modifying the generic kernel, just change the Handbook note
on using sane-find-scanner to include /dev/uscanner0 when checking for
USB scanners.
