No, it's not. In Fedora Core 3, scanners are accessed through libusb,
rather than a specific kernel module. Without the kernel module, there
isn't a "real" device that represents the scanner; no device, no udev.
The symbolic link that appears in /dev is a hack that tells pam to set
the permissions of the appropriate /proc/bus/usb/... entry when a
"console" user logs on. This allows non-root users to access a scanner
that is "cold-plugged".
This setup works for my Perfection 1650. SANE uses libusb to find the
scanner when it starts up, so the name of the symlink is irrelevant.
