Until the end of this week I've to get my web cam-grabber work. I can't wait till somebody wrote necessary kernel updates. In my case I'm using the pwc-driver Nemosoft wrote. Nemosoft, could you estimate how much work it would be to include necessary stuff to your module? And do you have time to get things done during next days? And now risk management: what can I do, if Nemosoft can't help me?
