Thanks for the clue, it works here (had no time previously to fix the problem, even if there are other ways, e.g:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=282748) Anyway I'm/was not familiar with module-assistant (it wasn't even installed on my system before), but it did the job properly, save that it put the built module in /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/updates/. I just had to copy the newly created file ``pwc.ko'' to its proper place (/lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/drivers/media/video/pwc). Still, it'd be good for other users if the proper module was backported into edgy. Here are the steps if someone wants to try it out: -- BEGIN -- apt-get install module-assistant m-a prepare m-a a-i pwc cp /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/updates/pwc.ko /lib/modules/2.6.17-10-386/kernel/drivers/media/video/pwc rmmod pwc modprobe pwc -- END -- (You may need build-essentials and stuff).
