Heya,

given I'd like to buy a cheap webcam, I'm most likely going to try the
QC E2500 out, which seems to have the following IDs, which seem to be
indeed known in the linux source tree:
| -(cy...@talisker pts/9)-(~/hack/various/linux-2.6.git/drivers)
| $ git grep 046d | grep 089d
| media/video/gspca/zc3xx.c:    {USB_DEVICE(0x046d, 0x089d), .driver_info = 
SENSOR_MC501CB},

Also, since there's no more qc-usb releases, I guess it's good news to
have it in the kernel. ;)

I'll report back ASAP.

Mraw,
KiBi.
