The SANE people don't know.
How is the V4L driver able to detect which USB devices are video devices?
The SANE driver for a USB scanner requires the vendor and product ID as parameters.
insmod scanner vendor=0x06bd product=0x208f
This is a generic driver. It could as easily use the same table the
other USB drivers use and not require the command line options.
insmod videodev
insmod ov511
This driver only supports one device so it knows the vendor/product of
all of the hardware it is compatible with and sets up the appropriate
table with that list.
So I'm lucky my vendor/product IDs are known.
Is the vendor ID in /usr/include/linux/videodev.h and the product ID is
in the ov511 driver?
#define VID_HARDWARE_OV511 27
