Hi,

sane is not able to detect my old SCSI scanner with kernel 2.6.23-rc9. The
scanner was found with 2.6.22.8. According to strace the behavior of the
SG_GET_SCSI_ID ioctl changed:

2.6.22.8:
open("/dev/scanner", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK|O_EXCL) = 3
ioctl(3, SG_SET_TIMEOUT, 0xbfe40624) = 0
ioctl(3, SG_GET_VERSION_NUM, 0x8063fa4) = 0
ioctl(3, SG_GET_SCSI_ID, 0xbfe405e0) = 0

2.6.23-rc9:
open("/dev/scanner", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK|O_EXCL) = 3
ioctl(3, SG_SET_TIMEOUT, 0xbf84a834) = 0
ioctl(3, SG_GET_VERSION_NUM, 0x8062524) = 0
ioctl(3, SG_GET_SCSI_ID, 0xbf84a7f0) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for
device)

Is this an intentional change?

regards,
JÃrg
