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

yes, remove or comment it out, and that should fix the problem.

Thanks. B.t.w. for the list. The upstream pwc in the FC5 kernel doesn't work. Like in FC4. However recompile+reinstall does the job as before in FC4.
