Thanks; I see I boobed there, after reading the instructions. I have now
downloaded the latest driver (today's snapshot pwc-v4l2-20061108-042701), but
I still have the same problem!

:/home/adrian# lsmod | grep pwc
pwc                    84000  0
videodev                9856  1 pwc
usbcore               130820  3 pwc,uhci_hcd
:/home/adrian# ls /dev/vid*
ls: /dev/vid*: No such file or directory

Where's v4l2_common gone? Was it important?
