Of course it does.  /proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy is the interface newer
software (exactly: libusb) uses to communicate with scanners and other
devices.

The scanner module is depreciated and not even in the debian
kernel debs.  I think it even is removed from the vanilla kernel,
but, I am not sure.

In the meantime I tried kernel 2.6.12 and it works with exactly the
same configuration.  So, appearently there was something wrong with
kernel 2.6.11.

Thanks for your effort.
