It looks to me that the 3 and 2 from FC2 are correct. What confuses this 
novice is the absence of a 3 in FC3T1 and having the usbserial driver 
added for your system. (no serial USB before) - My guess is that with 
the comparison between FC2 and FC3 test, you have a real bug on your hands.

I trimmed out the date information in hopes of this making more sense to me.

I also ran the hardware browser and my scanner was recognized under 
system devices. This is without plugging and unplugging the USB port to 
the scanner.

If it is not in the HW browser, it is a bug. :-)

Also, I shutdown my system yesterday (Thunderstorm) and am using the 
2.6.7-1.492 kernel on powering on today. X was *very* slow coming up.
