Re: [debian-knoppix] How install "pwc driver" on 3.8.2 ?



Hallo Ralph,

You are right, it should be in the kernel, but with KNOPPIX 3.8.2 there
is no module named pwc.ko, at least modprobe pwc says so:-((

I do not know how to activate it later, maybe insmod -f pwc.ko ? After
copying pwc.ko to the system of course.

Greetings 

Achim
