If the camera uses the PTP protocol, jphoto (http://jphoto.sourceforge.net) could be an answer A lot of newer cameras support the USB storage filesystem so can be mounted like any other filesystem under Linux.

If I remember correctly: I added scanner to /etc/hotplug/blacklist (When I first configure it the scanner module was still there and I had compiled it with my kernel, it should not be necessary to add it now). Then in /etc/hotplug/usb/libsane.usermap I added a line for my scanner like the sample entry provided and replaced and by the values for my Epson 1240U. Lastly, I commented out the 'usb /dev/usb/scanner0' line I had added to the /etc/sane.d/epson.conf file and added a new line with simply 'usb' on it.

Sorry if I've missed > something obvious--single line URL's and brief comments of disgust with > my stupidity are welcome :). A new driver is in the stock kernel from 2.6.3 if I recall correctly. The module is called ir_kbd_gpio (you also need to load ir_kbd_i2c). you need CONFIG_VIDEO_IR=m I'm not sure, but it seems to be added automatically if you selected the BT848 Video For Linux driver while configuring the kernel.

The two gateways have fixed IP addresses. I have this scenario working with Strongswan on a Linux gateway connecting to a Checkpoint VPN-1. Roadwarriors means a client with unknown IP connects to a gateway (the Checkpoint in you case). I believe the authentication protocol used by Checkpoint with Securemote/Secureclient is non-standard so I'm not sure you can connect to it easily with an Open Source solution.
