detecting scsi scanner after login

[oldefortran]

Hello.
I have a scsi scanner, and if I boot my machine with the scanner turned off, I can't "find" the scanner with
scanimage -L
if I later on turns on the power to the scanner.

Is there a way to detect the scanner later on?

I think that scsiadd would be helpful.

What ebuild can I find scsiadd in?

Try 'scsiadd -p'. The output is the same as 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi', this is what I see:

Thanks for your reply, but I got this:

Use your scsi-driver as a module, then reloading the module should give you access to your scanner.
Dirty, but works for me ...

I compiled all the scsi stuff as modules, it worked then!
