FWIW, I have Centos-7, which is kept up to day, and a brother
dcp-7065DN, which is on the LAN, via cat5 not wireless.
when I start up Xsane, it scans for devices then reports the brother
DCP-7065DN as found. Though, gotta admit, I haven't used it to do an
actual scan in some time, so who knows if it actually works.
which makes me wonder if it is actually connected via wireless,
or only should be...: can you ping the device?
