This seems to be a generic issue and people complain over the web that barcode readers no longer work with Ubuntu now that usbkbd has been deprecated (see for instance http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1641450).

It's also my case (in Ubuntu 10.10) and when I plug a Datalogic barcode reader, I get kernel errors:

Dec 19 22:41:51 studio kernel: [391218.850071] usb 6-2: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4

and of course, usbkbd is no longer here as a workaround.

Thanks,
