Hi folks,

I've just installed pwc module for the first time on my computer, and I experienced same troubles this thread was about:

FATAL: Error inserting pwc (/lib/modules/2.6.11-1-k7/kernel/drivers/usb/media/pwc.ko): Invalid module format

I googled to this thread, but it was not very helpful :). However, by a pretty sheer of luck, I have found the source of the problem quickly, so I decided to write it here for other desperates.

The problem was, that gcc used to compile the module was of different version than gcc used to build debian kernel image (4.0 versus 3.3). After changing gcc symlink back to gcc-3.3, everything worked fine.

regards, Zbynek
