6 I have some ancient UMAX scanner working. I don't remember everything
7 that's necessary. I seem to have /etc/hotplug/usb/libusbscanner,
8 /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap, /etc/udev/rules.d/99-libsane.rules,
9 and /etc/udev/rules.d/92-scanner.rules. The last has just this in it:
10
11 BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="1606", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0230", GROUP="scanner", MODE="664"
12
13 I don't know whether I put that there or portage did.
