usb-scanner detected, but nothing about usb in /dev
hi!
i've just bought an epson 1660 scanner, but i can't install it because it's
not detected.
i've tried to figure out what the problem is, and only found more problems.
i use kernel 2.4.18
here is what i found, it really looks strange:
syslog:

when i try sane-find-scanner
i get:
sane-find-scanner: checking /dev/usbscanner... failed to open (status 4)
sane-find-scanner: checking /dev/usbscanner0... failed to open (status 4)
and syslog says:
Jan 14 21:39:45 maelwen kernel: scanner.c: open_scanner(0): Unable to
access minor data
Jan 14 21:39:45 maelwen kernel: scanner.c: open_scanner(0): Unable to
access minor data
and ls -l /dev/u* :
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 32 Jul 5 2000 /dev/usbmouse
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 180, 48 Jan 14 19:14 /dev/usbscanner
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 14 19:14 /dev/usbscanner0 ->
usbscanner
the last 2 devices usbscanner(0) where created by myself, using a readme in
the kernel-source directory.
hoping someone has an idea what to do
