it works like this: - - after you connected some usb device to the host - - it will be checked by usb-core driver - - every device has some class description. - - if your device say, it belong to: 14 - video class, uvcvideo will initiate it. - - if the device is not video class device, then there is no way to uvcvideo will know about it. (except you will force it, but there is no guaranty) On 28.11.2011 14:43, Antonio Roberts wrote: > Thanks for that FAQ.
