The simple way should be to put /dev/ugen0 into
/usr/local/etc/sane.d/1200ub.conf.

That is /usr/local/etc/sane.d/dll.conf?

If your kernel scanner driver accepts this device that's ok.

There isn't any manpage and As far as I know there aren't any options.

Try with debugging enabled:
SANE_DEBUG_1200UB=255 scanimage -L

Maybe some incompatible USB handling between Linux and FreeBSD?
Something concerning maximum size of a "block" that can be transfered
at once? Just guessing...

I'm pretty sure that the programmers didn't test on FreeBSD. I 'm
currently trying to rewrite this code to get it into SANE: I will try
on FreeBSD, too, but I have just startet so this can take quite some
time. And i must install a FreeBSD which supports USB...
