Bug#289307: Integrate to kernel-source?



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I dont know if there is any problem with that...

I use the "original" kernel so... i wanted a pwc-source package in order
to make my webcam work. If there is any way to integrate the code ...

Now, my pwc-source package seems to work with module-assistant and its
lintian/linda error free.

| Since this package claims to be GPL (although there might be issues
with the

not to

|
| The kernel-package-2.6.10-1-686 package already contains several
usb-webcam
