SubjectPlease remove hpusbscsi Was: [sane-devel] HP 7450C, hpusbscsi, permissions in Fedora Core 3
Hi,

we should remove hpusbscsi from the Kernel. It is long obsolete and very
unstable. I can send a patch for 2.4 and 2.6 (if needed) ;-)

Yes. Hpusbscsi has many drawbacks. The major ones are:

- does not work with new scanners (that are designed for USB 2.0)
- it is highly instable (e.g. during an i/o error it locks up
quite easily and leaves the (usb sub-)system in a state that
needs a reboot ...

The later problem made me add the user-space i/o code to the
SANE/Avision backend, because I had to reboot my system every 5 minutes
during development ...

Yours,
