Comment 2 for bug 22070

(In reply to comment #1)

Thanks for looking into this, Matt. I agree, it's not supported by this same
module. Apparently the link I posted was to another kernel module that is also
called quickcam.ko, but it is not the official kernel one.

BTW, I have gotten this hardware working using the module at
http://home.mag.cx/messenger/. It required a little bit of work:
1. Edit the quickcam.sh script to accept ID 046d:08f0 as a valid device
2. Apply this patch:

The resulting quickcam.ko module works fine with this camera.

I suppose this is not Ubuntu's problem though, I guess you'll probably just wait
for it to be supported in the official kernel source.
