[sane-devel] hp5400c series support

[Remy Cool]

G'day,

I've recompiled the kernel (2.4.18) with the usb scanner support as 
module. Changed /etc/modules.conf to contain the option line to pass 
vendor and product id's. Modprobe scanner does however not work ... 
lsmod shows that the scanner module is initializing but the shell 
gets completely locked. I'll compile a kernel with USB debug messages 
enabled to see what's going on while this 'initializing' is taking 
place. (and yes usb works ... my mouse and Sandisk work without 
problems)

If this scanner works on FreeBSD ... it should be possible to get it 
working under linux. 

Anyone with a solution, hint, link or info on this problem ?

Regards,
Remy
