Re: kernel-2.6.8 Scanner Support?-Thanks

Following this advice I did the following:

	apt-get install libusb-dev
	sane-find-scanner
		I ran this as a regular user.  It found
			Vendor=0x04b8
			ProdID=0x011b
			at libusb:001:004
	vi /etc/sane.d/epson.conf and added the lines
		usb libusb:001:004
		usb 0x04b8 0x011b
	scanimage -L
		This only worked when I ran it as root
	cd /proc/bus/usb/001
	chmod 666 004

With these changes xsane started with no difficulty but the man page for
sane-usb notes that the permission change will be lost on re-booting.  I
have not yet puzzled out how to make it permanent.
