Bug#347328: Please disable kernel pwc (Philips USB webcam) module by default



Package: linux-2.6
Severity: important

Hi,

I am asking for the in-kernel pwc module (Philips USB webcam) to be disabled 
by default, as it doesn't work with the majority of their webcam chipsets 
commonly in use. More importantly, it also conflicts with the resulting 
package built from the source contained in the pwc-source package (two 
different pwc.ko files placed in 2 different modules dir for the same kernel 
version... during modprobe, kernel picks their version always ).

It would save pwc users alot of time, as no kernel rebuild would be needed, 
and a pwc-modules package could work from a fresh install :)

Sincerely,
Lawrence
