I would like to see the Brother Scanner drivers for sane in Ubuntu (brother2 and brother).

Brother has a website with drivers: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/sane_drivers.html
An a FAQ-page: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/linux_faq.html

The driver works on a Brother DCP-7025 when you add a line to "/etc/udev/rules.d/45-libsane.rules":
SYSFS{idVendor}=="04f9", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0184", MODE="664",GROUP="scanner"

This has probably to be done with every supported model.
