[KLUG Members] USB Hotplug

[Adam Williams]

I pruchased an Epson 1250 perfection USB scanner (not supported by
sane)  but if I "modprobe scanner vendor=0x04bf product=0x010f" and then
run xsane it works great!  (The Epson 1250 is actually a LM 983x USB
chip and a plustek scanner).

But I have to load the scanner module manually, and set the permissions
on /dev/usb/scanner0, which is a pain.

If I just plug it in I get a "no drivers for USB product 4bf/10f/100" in
/var/log/messages,  which (I assume) means that hotplug can't match it
up to anything.  I've tried adding line(s) to /etc/hotplug/usb.distmap,
etc... and can't get it to happen automagically.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
