Yeah, I forgot to mention that it's a barcode scanner. I reconfigured
the device mode as USB HID keyboard as given in the Metrologic manual.
Now the driver associated with it shows as "usbhid". But still when i
scan any barcode i am not able to see any output on the console. Is
there any redirection required?
