I've upgraded to a brand new kernel I've just compiled 2.6.21.4, but that's 
exactly the same. The webcam doesn't work. I'm back to my old kernel, 
2.6.17.8.
I've tried to downgrade to the old driver I used to use (linux-uvc driver, 
revision 95, instead of the one actually available 110), but it fails the 
same. Strange.... Francois
