The kernel has gone from 2.6.20-14 to 2.6.20-15, but this regression is still unfixed - like a large number of people I bought this hardware specifically due to its mature support under linux. I don't really understand why experimental suspend/resume functionality for laptops should be allowed to break support for scanners attached to desktop machines - is it not possible for the installer to detect laptop/desktop initially, and install laptop-specific stuff like this (and NetworkManager!) only for laptops?
