i'm guessing that this has to do with how you compiled the module.
i don't get this message if i use "m-a build pwc-source" or the
appropriate --append-to-version flags with make-kpkg.  could
you provide a little more info?

> pwc: Unknown symbol video_devdata
=2E..

these symbols comes from videodev, which should be loaded automatically
before pwc as the pwc module lists it as a dependency.  strange...


something i really hadn't put much thought into is how this package
should handle the pre-existing pwc module found in 2.6.8 and earlier.
i guess a conditional diversion should be added?  i'll file a phony
rc bug against pwc to keep it out of sarge until this can be
handled properly.

Hi,

I confirm that the pwc driver works well.
Only at boot time, I have the following messages:

usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
pwc: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
pwc: Unknown symbol video_devdata
pwc: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
pwc: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
pwc: Unknown symbol video_register_device
pwc: Unknown symbol video_usercopy
pwc: Unknown symbol video_device_release
pwc: Unknown symbol video_devdata
pwc: Unknown symbol video_unregister_device
pwc: Unknown symbol video_device_alloc
pwc: Unknown symbol video_register_device
pwc: Unknown symbol video_usercopy
pwc: Unknown symbol video_device_release
pwc Philips webcam module version 10.0.6-unofficial loaded.
pwc Supports Philips PCA645/646, PCVC675/680/690, 
PCVC720[40]/730/740/750 & PCVC830/840.
pwc Also supports the Askey VC010, various Logitech Quickcams, Samsung 
MPC-C10 and MPC-C30,
pwc the Creative WebCam 5 & Pro Ex, SOTEC Afina Eye and Visionite 
VCS-UC300 andVCS-UM100.
pwc Trace options: 0x00a1

but without any practical consequence, gnomemeeting works like a charm
(Debian Kernel image 2.6.10-1-k7).

So I welcome pwc!

Eric
