-.SH "BUILDING THE KERNEL MODULE"
-As mentioned before, the
-.B sane\-plustek_pp
-backend code can also be compiled and installed as linux kernel module. To do so,
-you will need the source-files of this sane\-backend installation.
-Unpack this tar-ball and go to the directory:
-.IR sane\-backends/doc/plustek .
-Within this directory, you should find a script called:
-.IR MakeModule.sh .
-Now if your Linux kernelsources are installed correctly,
-it should be possible to build, install and load the

-.B Please note,
-that the kernelsources need to be configured correctly.
-Refer to your distributions

-.I ./MakeModule.sh

-the script will try and get all necessary information about your
-running kernel and will lead you through the whole installation

-The configuration of the kernel module is done by providing
