Yes, it is applied.
Seems that didn't help for me.
I have a few options I could try.
1. Use an old kernel, and an older version of Sane, see how that works
out.
2. I could Freebsd here, and see if I can get it going then.
Maybe i can then get wiser about if it is sane or the kernel.
The stupid thing is, when moving it to another machine it stopped
working, and moving it back didn't help. So there wasn't a real excuse
for the scanner to stop working.
Reading your answer, I assume you don't have an idea how to deal with it
:-)
Then I guess I'm gonna have to try some of the options to see if that
gives anything.
