Re: Patch: Plustek scanner driver (pt_drv) port to 2.6, correction for 2.6.3

[Gerhard Jaeger <gerhard@gjaeger.de>]

Hmm,

I don't think that this patch is necessary anymore. The latest driver
is contained in the sane-backends package. The backend is called
plustek_pp can can either be used completely from userspace or if
you want to as kernel-module (including all the patches for 2.6
kernel, except devfs support).

Ciao,
