I'm confused -- tried to read the thread in full but seem to find conflicting advice. I just installed Lucid for netbooks on my Medion Akoya MD97690.

I had trouble with the USB-stick installation, but I resolved it by installing with the kernel mode options "nomodeset" & "noapic" set -- http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9448024&postcount=24 .

The WLAN was iffy until I ran all the package updates. It now seems okay. All packages are updated fully. This is a 32-bit installation and chipset.

My problem is the internal webcam. It is not recognized at all. Running "gstreamer-properties" and the video tests show nothing recognized. Test V4L2: "cannot identify device '/dev/video0'." Test V4L shows no device at all (as opposed to not recognized).

Running "lsusb" shows no camera device listed. USB works fine in general. My USB mouse works. The USB stick from which I did the installation is visible.

I want to get the webcam working. What should I do? Help appreciated.
