Hi!

I just found on my inbox something like this:

http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0409.1/2135.html

[...]
I've made a patch to (re)add pwc philips driver into the kernel. This
driver
have support for some compression mode (for chipset 2 & 3), so you don't
need the binary module to grab an image in 640x480 at 10fps.
Use this driver with caution, i've test on several webcam (type 730,
740).
Mode bayer is not implemented, the camera only output yuv420p (planar
mode).
Future plan is to improve compatibility with other webcam, and try to
implement decoder for version 1.
[...]

Seems to be quite interesting to include it in our kernels.

Artur
