I'm tracking down an issue with USB cameras as well... I have a Creative Labs WebCam 3 (ov511.o) that works fine on 2.4.17 but I've yet to get any post-2.4.17 kernel to see it and handle it properly... I'm curious as to what might have changed so dramatically after 2.4.17 to the USB subsystem... Jeremy On Tue, Sep 03, 2002 at 02:31:33AM -0400, Mark L.
