Hi Florent,

I see you'd like it the "hard" way, using the kernel-module.
In the end this approach put all the driver stuff to the userspace, and so it
is possible to skip the kernel-module and make the backend work also
on i.e. OS/2 , FreeBSD and other platforms that have libieee1284 support.
The other advantage now is, that the source-code is completely in CVS
and I don't have to fiddle with various versions...

Currently there are no new features.
You might want to remove the kernel-module and only try the plustek pp
backend - see plustek pp.conf for configuration....

Thanks for the report
  Gerhard

BTW: The version number of the latest kernel-module was 0.42-...
