Hi,

I am new to the list and appologize if the question has been asked
before. I always used pwc on FC4 succesfully (only with new compile and
install). However on FC5, although it compiles and installs fine, when
you try to load the module i get the following error:

# modprobe pwc
FATAL: Error inserting pwc
(/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5/kernel/drivers/usb/media/pwc/pwc.ko):
Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
# dmesg
pwc: Unknown parameter `index'

Any ideas? Known issue maybe? Is a fix already being worked on?

Thanks for providing this great driver!

Do you have any aliases or options for pwc in /etc/modprobe* ?

Sorry, wrong window i looked in! Yes there is an index there! Any ideas? Should i remove it?
Thanks, jan
