Hello,

I had this camera working briefly under Fedora Core 7 x86_64, but with
recent kernel updates it fails to associate with a video device.

setpwc -p  produces:

Error while accessing device /dev/video0: No such file or directory

I have been looking at udev info but I can't see why it doesn't
register.  It did for a while with slightly earlier kernel -- I can
see pwc registering as /dev/video0 from last month.

If anyone has some ideas of what to look for or if I can add any more
detail, I am very interested.  It seems like a nice camera and I need
to use it this week for work!

Thanks,

Jim
