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
