Comment 24 for bug 269123

We have built mainline kernels directly from kernel.org as Ubuntu
packages at the following location:

  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline

If you could install and test the stkwebcam driver one of the later kernels and report back.
There have been a number of patches including new device support in the 2.6.28
and later kernels for webcams. If a newer version of this driver solves your problem
it would be better than introducing a competing non-mainline driver as a backport package.
Your feedback will help us decide which backporting option is better.

Note: these kernels are for testing and experimentation only. They are not
supported in the Ubuntu distribution in any way nor do they contain any
Ubuntu bug fixes.
