It is long obsolete and very unstable. I can send a patch for 2.4 and 2.6 (if needed) ;-) George Garvey wrote: > On Sat, Jan 01, 2005 at 10:11:30PM -0800, Thomas Frayne wrote: ... > As far as I know, Rene has made it pretty clear he doesn't want to > use hpusbscsi with the avision driver. He prefers libusb. Yes. Hpusbscsi has many drawbacks. The major ones are: - does not work with new scanners (that are designed for USB 2.0) - it is highly instable (e.g. during an i/o error it locks up quite easily and leaves the (usb sub-)system in a state that needs a reboot ... The later problem made me add the user-space i/o code to the SANE/Avision backend, because I had to reboot my system every 5 minutes during development ... Yours, -- Ren?
