Chris,

I am using the Logitech QC 4000 Pro.  I had it working
with the pwc driver using TS-10 (cross-compiled on a
fc5 system) but I am running into problems compiling
it when using the Debian development card which I am
booting from.

I downloaded the pwc driver in both cases from:
http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/

lsusb shows the camera, btw, so that's encouraging.

I did notice a lot of problems with the camera causing
reboots under heavy load when I had it working using
ts linux.  I increased the voltage from 5v to 7.5v and
everything stablized.

Update: Thanks to Eddie at TS, I now have a better
understanding of how linux works :)  I just need to
recompile the TS kernel (with pwc patch and v4l
support and proprietary sd module copied over) and use
that with my 7260 board that runs Debian.  Very
similar to what I did for my non-SD-option,
ts-filesystem 7260 board.

I was confused and thought that the Debian root
filesystem required a different kernel altogether.
