Well, Doug Gilbert's SCSI generic changes were in 2.2.x-ac for a while<br>
and are in 2.2.6 and later Linus kernels too. I mentioned his changes to<br>
this list a while ago -- with no result at all IIRC. This should be a<br>
better SCSI generic while remaining totally compatible, obviously it's<br>
fallen short of that.<br>
<p>
So - now someone who actually understands SANE's SCSI code needs to try<br>
playing about with a 2.2.6 or later Linus kernel. What has changed which<br>
might have broken support for Kick's scanner? Can we fix it, or is it<br>
a problem on Doug's side?<br>
<p>
