I don't know how many of you guys know this, but the kernel 2.3.x tree
is nearing release to 2.4.0. In fact, I think 2.3.99 (the last before
2.4.0) is in the works right now. I base this off of traffic from the
linux-usb mailing list. They are working as if there was an eminent
release. I haven't heard from Linus myself, but they are talking like
it will be just a few weeks.
All that to say that the usb-scanner support in 2.4 should be pretty
good. Of course, as this thread has already covered, I know that sane
backends need to be developed (where than can) for the usb scanners.
