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) ;-)

As far as I know, Rene has made it pretty clear he doesn't want to
use hpusbscsi with the avision driver. He prefers libusb.
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,
