I guess I'm not understanding this well. As a storage device it is seen as sdb1. As a pc camera, the hardware list just gives Vendor: Unknown Bus: USB Location on the bus: 0:11b Description: USB PC Camera Module: unknown Media class: The hard link was not allowed, and the symbolic link didn't work, so I must be going about this the wrong way.
