Hi, this bug still applies to Fedora 16 (kernel 3.2.6-3.fc16.x86_64).

Current HowTo for Fedora 16 (long overdue !) is here.
There were great improvement in sourceforge module in the mean time.

Indeed, thanks Josh. Another module from the same author *is* included upstream for a while (but does not support this webcam model) :

$ modinfo stkwebcam
filename: /lib/modules/3.2.6-3.fc16.x86_64/kernel/drivers/media/video/stkwebcam.ko
description: Syntek DC1125 webcam driver
author: Jaime Velasco Juan <email address hidden> and Nicolas VIVIEN

Thanks,
