    But still doesn’t detect my Agfa 1212USB scanner, and doesn’t have multilanguage support. I tried installing kde-2.2.2-i18n files for supporting more languages but that didn’t work.

    There are some 18 localization files available via iris. (I know, I know it costs $$)

    My Mustek Bearpaw scanner is not supported either unless I compile the current SANE build with a beta backend that didn’t even exist a few months ago ;)

    Is that a Agfa SnapScan 1212u scanner? You may need to edit /etc/sane.d/snapscan.conf in order to get SANE to see the scanner. (Yeah, I know, you shouldn’t have to edit text files to get this stuff to work. Tell the that to the guys at Lycoris.)

    Does this build include the linux-wlan-ng driver? More specifically, does it support USB based Prism2 chips?

    We have the same model here, 1212U. BeOS doesn’t support it either with the SANE drivers, it is a weird model actually, as it has a SCSI to USB convertor internally.

    It was one of the earlier models and it has proven a bit of a challenge to write drivers for. Even the Windows driver for example doesn’t support multiuser at all. That scanner is not supported at all by Agfa anymore really…

    Yes, it does, but you’ll need to manually configure it, unfortunately.
