Well, I have tried the driver in 2.4.0-test10-pre3+reiserfs-3.6.18, with
no luck, compiled with DEBUG uncommented:

As seen the driver begins to load, but later it fails. This time there
is no dependencies problem.
I happen to own a Primax Colorado Direct 9600 scaner, which I hope its
supported by this driver.
Please CC me as you have done, because I'm not subscribed to the list,
thank you.
