0.02 is the -oldest- camera. I never even heard about 0.01...
Do you have any links to this camera, photos... I will need to
document your experience whatever the outcome!

a) this camera has audio. This may confuse the driver - none of IBM
cameras before had any audio interfaces.
You see, the probe() code is only as smart as it was needed to bind
to -known- cameras. My guess is that the driver tries to claim
the audio interface. I have a rush job at this time (I'm at work),
so I can't even have a good look at your logs, and my code.
First of all, you shouldn't have snipped the rest of /proc/bus/usb/devices
:-) It is not that large. As result I have no idea what interface structure
this camera has. If you feel to it, have a look at probe() in ibmcam.c
(2.4.13 is perfect). Otherwise send me the /proc/.../devices and I will
try to help you.
It is interesting.
My guess is that the video chipset is the same old Xirlink X-chip.
They haven't produced anything else for years. It should work,
unless you stumble upon compressed-only datastreams.

I guess that was the camera - not some microphone that you connected at
the very same second :-)

Yes, you could comment that out. Just to scare people off. Halloween...

Ok, now it continues...

I think the video driver tries to bind itself to the audio interface.
This is *wrong* and won't help anyone.

Yes, that part is irrelevant. The driver haven't picked up the camera.
Try to tweak probe() and see what happens. But first find out what
interface the driver really should bind to (see /proc/.../devices).
Thanks,
Dmitri
