In attachment my log from a video streaming session. As you can see, it uses altsetting 5 for streaming, while all altsettings from 0 to 9 have the same isoc endpoints. I have already tried to write a gspca subdriver for it, but the main gspca driver sets altsetting to 9 for streaming, which is not appropriate for this device. But of course I may be missing something, so your help would be very much appreciated. Francesco

Hi Francesco,
gspca already handles some cameras and some Benq webcams. From a USB
snoop, it may be easy to write a new gspca subdriver.
I join the tcl script I use to extract the important information from
raw snoop traces. May you send me the result with your logs? Then, I
could see if an existing subdriver could be used or if a new one has to
be created.
Regards.

Adding support for Benq DC E300 camera
Hi, I'm trying to get my Benq DC E300 camera to work under Linux. It has an Atmel AT76C113 chip. I don't know how many Linux users would benefit from a driver supporting this camera (and possibly other models, too), so my question is: if/when such a driver will be written, is there someone willing to review it and finally get it merged? If the answer is yes, I will try to write something working. This camera USB interface has 10 alternate settings, and altsetting 5 is used to stream data; it uses two isochronous endpoints to transfer an AVI-formatted video stream (320x240) to the USB host. It would be great if someone could give me some information to make writing the driver easier: so far, I have only USB sniffer capture logs from the Windows driver.
