The good news is: it works now. The bad one: I don't know exactly why.
The facts:
I tried to do some debugging and set SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_AB306. If I use
a value of 4 or higher I can use the scanner, if its 3 or lower, the
driver hangs. Some Output with SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_AB306=3:
hmg1:/root # xscanimage mustek
[sanei_init_debug]: Setting debug level of sanei_ab306 to 3.
[sanei_ab306] sanei_ab306_ioport: using inb/outb access
[sanei_ab306] ab306_write: waiting for scanner to be ready 04
---> light is turned on, some noise from the scanner
[sanei_ab306] ab306_write: waiting for scanner to be NOT ready b4
[sanei_ab306] sanei_ab306_open: `' is not a valid port number
---> xscanimage window pops up, now I want to "Scan"

Strange, isn't it? Perhaps a timing problem in sanei_ab306?
