Re: kernel-2.6.8 Scanner Support?

Make menuconfig for the 2.4.26 kernel includes an option to select usb

Make menuconfig for the 2.6.8 kernel includes only an option to select
usb microteck scanner support and xsane cannot cannot find my scanner
when using a 2.6.8 kernel image.
less /proc/bus/usb/devices lists the scanner. lsmod shows no scanner
module and modprobe scanner reports FATAL: module scanner not found.
There also seems to be a hotplug problem with the 2.6.8 image as there
are repeated ep0 timeout messages on bootup and the systems hangs on
shutdown or the removal of a usb storage device.
Is there something missing in my .config file? Or is there another
solution?
I am not sure about 2.6, but in 2.4 you need to give options to the
module scanner. Maybe this old page helps:

Or mayb lsmod will help to find your VendorID and ProductID.
