USB scanners in Linux

[Matheson <matheson@mail1.facile.com>]

Hey,

I just got offered a job to program this new device for laptops (you
hook your laptop up to it, and you can get TV, radio, network, etc.),
but they want to do it in Linux (I would be in charge of getting the
Linux to work also).  Anyways, the scanners they want to use are USB,
and TWAIN-compliant (I don't have a model name yet.)  I told them I
wasn't sure if we would be able to get it to work, considering it is
USB.  I know that the new kernels have USB support, but is it good
enough to use with a scanner (preferrably full speed)?

Thanks,
