I hope I can be of help in getting this=20 documented. I've followed your instructions carefully, but my scanner still comes up as= =20 ugen0. I have the following in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs /* Acer Peripherals, Inc. products */ product ACERP ACERSCAN_C310U 0x12a6 Acerscan C310U product ACERP ACERSCAN_320U 0x2022 Acerscan 320U product ACERP ACERSCAN_640U 0x2040 Acerscan 640U product ACERP ACERSCAN_620U 0x2060 Acerscan 620U product ACERP ACERSCAN_4300 0x20b0 Acerscan 4300 and in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/uscanner.c /* Acer Peripherals */ {{ USB_VENDOR_ACERP, USB_PRODUCT_ACERP_ACERSCAN_320U }, 0 }, {{ USB_VENDOR_ACERP, USB_PRODUCT_ACERP_ACERSCAN_640U }, 0 }, {{ USB_VENDOR_ACERP, USB_PRODUCT_ACERP_ACERSCAN_620U }, 0 }, {{ USB_VENDOR_ACERP, USB_PRODUCT_ACERP_ACERSCAN_C310U }, 0 }, {{ USB_VENDOR_ACERP, USB_PRODUCT_ACERP_ACERSCAN_4300 }, 0 }, then I did daemon:/usr/src/sys/dev/usb % sudo make -f Makefile.usbdevs which output: /bin/rm -f usbdevs.h usbdevs_data.h awk -v type=3DUSB -v os=3D`uname -s` -f devlist2h.awk usbdevs Then I did: daemon:/usr/src/sys/dev/usb % cd /usr/src/sys/modules/usb daemon:/usr/src/sys/modules/usb % sudo make all install This gives lots of output, but ends with: touch /usr/src/sys/modules/usb/export_syms awk -f /usr/src/sys/modules/usb/../../conf/kmod_syms.awk=20 usb.kld /usr/src/sys/modules/usb/export_syms | xargs -J% objcopy % usb.kld ld -Bshareable -d -warn-common -o usb.ko usb.kld install -o root -g wheel -m 555 usb.ko /boot/kernel kldxref /boot/kernel After that, I rebooted & plugged the scanner in, but the response was: Aug 23 20:40:55 daemon kernel: ugen0: Color FlatbedScanner 22, rev 1.00/1.2= 0,=20 addr 2 My kernel has the following USB devices in it: uhci ohci usb ugen uhid ukbd ulpt umass ums urio uscanner=20 I guess there's some step missing or wrong, but I don't know what.
