One without ,,uscanner''...

The situation with scanners is still unsatisfying. Not because of 
FreeBSD, but because of broken scanners around that work well with 
libusb but not with /dev/uscannerX. If someone owns such a scanner, he 
has to build a kernel without uscanner. On the other hand, if uscanner 
was not part of GENERIC and someone neede it, he/she just would load the 
module.

I know that we had the discussion before. Maybe in december I will be 
able to get a pile of scanners for testing with Linux and FreeBSD and 
maybe then I will be able supply the uscanner-people with additional 
information.

Thanks,
Mattias

@Bernd Walter: I did not forget our previous discussion, it is just that 
my schedule is very tight for the moment.
