Bug reports won't be considered. The removal of the kernel scanner module |
| 15 |
was well-planned and deliberate. The new way is to use libusb to access |
| 16 |
the scanner from user space. If it affects me then it affects countless others |
| 17 |
(and there are many forum posts about this issue) but these changes will |
| 18 |
not be reversed. |

One must move ahead along with the others or be crushed and forgotten. |
