It works for me on kernel 2.4.14 with no module options.  It did *not* 
work on 2.4.8 or so--the pwc module included with the kernel at that 
time didn't recognize the particular USB identifier for the QuickCam 3000.

Be aware that you probably won't be able to get the higher resolutions 
out of the camera unless you also insmod the pwcx.o module.  This module 
is supplied binary only, unfortunately.  For this reason, even though 
the picture quality from the QuickCam 3000 is among the best of the USB 
cameras I've used under Linux, I'd recommend an ov511 based camera like 
the Creative WebCam Plus since it is all open source, with a good 
quality picture at the same resolution (640x480).
