Comment 34 for bug 293259

I used to be a supporter of linux/ubuntu.
I changed from 8.04 to 8.10 because of eth/wired/wireless problems.
Now wireless is no longer a problem. but wired still is.
And the builtin webcam (vaio vgn-tz170n) is no longer detected, e.g.,
israel@israel-laptop:~$ xawtv
This is xawtv-3.95.dfsg.1, running on Linux/i686 (2.6.27-9-generic)
xinerama 0: 1366x768+0+0
can't open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l-conf had some trouble, trying to continue anyway
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l2: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
v4l: open /dev/video0: No such file or directory
no video grabber device available
I've never before spent so much time trying to get things working, to no avail. getting old...:-(
