[3.8.1]Why not include PWC driver for webcam ?



Hi all :)

As you know, PWC driver was removed from kernel with 2.6.9 kernel. This was 
due to a lot of things but result was there : No more driver for Phillips, 
Quickcam etc. CCD webcam.

Some have done reverse ingeniering with this driver and implement 640*480 in a 
entirely GPL module.

Luc Saillard was one of them and he "maintains" PWC driver with all 
resolutions for kernel.

I've tried compile it on a knoppix 3.8.1, it works very well.

So : Is there a possiblity to include it on next Knoppix release?

Bye, 

Clear skies,
