Probably not. They could use that brand on various chipsets, and the same chipset could have different firmware and require different drivers.. The Vendor and Product IDs are what to go by. >The company that >makes it does have a driver, but guess who it's not for :-( It's for the larger 90% of the market, right? 8:) >Does FC ship with anything I can modprobe and use? I think it unlikely, as there are hundreds of different cameras, each requiring its own custom driver. Only the cameras that conform to USB Class standards are likely to have any support. Google around for the Vendor and Product IDs. Any Linux driver that could work will list the Vendor and Product ID you have, but, as those are hex numbers, they might list them in different form. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
