Sorry to disappoint all the people waiting for the Linux UVC driver, but the code won't be ready in time for 2.6.21. There are still two matters to be addressed: - adding the necessary controls to V4L2 - adding support for vendor-specific extension units The first step is the most difficult one, but I still hope to convince the V4L2 developers :-) In the meantime, the driver can be found on http://linux-uvc.berlios.de.
