Webcams?

[Joe Buczek]

You might want to look at the driver source to see if the product
code is actually supported by the driver. I've played a bit with
webcams and have found that vendors seem to change the product
codes frequently. Sometimes its OK to hack the product code to
match what you've got and, if the hardware is similar enough, the
driver will work. Sometimes, it doesn't, which seems to be most of
the time.

Good luck,
--Joe
