Nigel:  The driver needs to catch up to the kernel.  The camera is only 
a few months old, so between the newness of the camera, and the driver 
module still in flux, it's not yet part of the kernel (I think they're 
waiting for a couple driver patches to do whatever in the field).  At my 
end, since I'm in trouble with working between different kernels, and 
not knowing what install procedures will ensure all kernels can use the 
same configuration setup, it's really hard to troubleshoot.  My car's in 
storage for the duration, here in Iowa.  I'm a cardiac cripple, so don't 
do that shoveling thingy.  :)  When the weather turns, I'll go find the 
LUG folks and see if they can walk me through the steps.

Thanks much for the help.  Did you try the command with your webcam?
