Bug#345592: linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7: pwc module doesn't work

[Srdjan <srdjan@paradise.net.nz>]

Hi Sven,

I'm not sure what is the pwc external driver package - I haven't 
installed anything apart from the kernel in case of 2.6.14-2 and 
additional modules for 2.6.14-1. Can you please tell me where do I find 
old-pwc module that I can use meanwhile?
Also, do we need to reassign this bug to someone else then?

Cheers,
Srdjan
