Hi,
I confirm that the pwc driver works well.
Only at boot time, I have the following messages:
usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
pwc: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
pwc: Unknown symbol video_devdata
pwc: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
pwc: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
pwc: Unknown symbol video_register_device
pwc: Unknown symbol video_usercopy

pwc Philips webcam module version 10.0.6-unofficial loaded.
pwc Supports Philips PCA645/646, PCVC675/680/690,
PCVC720[40]/730/740/750 & PCVC830/840.
pwc Also supports the Askey VC010, various Logitech Quickcams, Samsung
MPC-C10 and MPC-C30,
pwc the Creative WebCam 5 & Pro Ex, SOTEC Afina Eye and Visionite
VCS-UC300 andVCS-UM100.
pwc Trace options: 0x00a1
but without any practical consequence, gnomemeeting works like a charm
(Debian Kernel image 2.6.10-1-k7).
So I welcome pwc!
