Kernel Driver pwc.ko not working (philips webcam) v4l error ?

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description doesn't yet have enough information.

Please include the following additional information, if you have not already done so (please pay attention to lspci's additional options), as required by the Ubuntu Kernel Team:
1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.

$ uname -a
Linux marion-laptop 2.6.20-9-generic #2 SMP Mon Feb 26 03:01:44 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

my webcam is a usb one :

Sory about wrong reporting...

What happens if you use /dev/video0?

I get following error message :
"Could not connect to video device /dev/video0 please check connection"

same problem with new kernel version :
Linux marion-laptop 2.6.20-10-generic #2 SMP Mon Mar 12 00:02:49 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Still not working with new
Linux marion-laptop 2.6.20-11-generic #2 SMP Thu Mar 15 08:03:07 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Still not working with 2.6.20-12-generic #2 SMP Sun Mar 18 03:07:14 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Still not working in Linux marion-laptop 2.6.20-12-generic #2 SMP Wed Mar 21 20:55:46 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Still not working in Linux marion-laptop 2.6.20-13-generic #2 SMP Sun Mar 25 00:21:25 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

Found out, it is a problem of rights, module is creating /Dev/video0 with group video, that does not exist in feisty... I hope someone will correct it...
Changing manually group after connecting the usb device work well.
Exemple : chgrp plugdev /dev/video0

Has this been fixed in newer versions on the kernel?

Hi, we would need a test in intrepid fully updated and Jaunty alpha.

Is it possible for you to do it?

thanks
