Hi,

=46OA, there is no need to send the request twice and there is also no need
to send it to sane-standard!
Regarding your problem, it seems, that the underlying USB subsystem makes
some troubles - could you check the system log? What version of libusb
are you using? When using 0.1.10, try downgrading to 0.1.8.

Ciao,
Gerhard
