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.
It does have a usb_device_id table actually. I never noticed it before
because it's defined in scanner.h (shouldn't be since it's a static
array). The module parameters are only for previously-unknown devices.
New IDs should be sent to the maintainer: Brian Beattie
