Why not buy something that works instead of some hardware that theEver hear of embrace and extend? Linux doesn't yet carry enough consumer weight to force hardware developers to support it, so Linux needs to come to the hardware, rather than the other way around. The vast majority of the webcams out there use this driver, Linux must support it.
manufacturer won't let people write drivers for?
When I go shopping for Linux hardware, I look for what supports Linux and its ideals best, and sometimes there are plenty of good choices, for example, printers and scanners. But when it comes to webcams, there's pretty much only choice, or at least, one choice of driver. And now, its gone.
Oh yeah, and I'm supposed to rush out and buy new hardware every time a Linux developer decides he now doesn't like a previously supported product? What happened to choice and freedom?
