** Description changed:

- Bus 005 Device 004: ID 0c45:624f Microdia
+ Note: This is about the SN9C201 driver not the SN9C102 which is already
+ in mainline kernel.org
  
- It is a Sonix webcam
+ Including this driver in Ubuntu would enable 22 new types of webcams to
+ work in Ubuntu (it's pretty much all the 0c45:* cams but also a few
+ 045e:* cams that use the same sensor chip as the 0c45:* cams).
  
- I need the SN9C201 driver not the SN9C102
+ NOTE: These are cams that lack _any_ driver at all today and they all have 
status "SUPPORTED" with this out-of-tree driver, while another 3 has status 
"Under development" and might work reasonably but not perfect):
+ http://groups.google.com/group/microdia/web/project-status
  
- thanks.
+ Webcams that will be fixed by this inclusion includes:
+ * Sonix webcam (0c45:624f)
+ * LifeCam VX-6000 (045e:00f4) which uses the same camera sensor
