12 Have you tried 2.6.32 kernel in Gentoo? In case yes, and if webcam works
13 in 2.6.32 and fails in 2.6.34, the best way to resolve this issue is to
14 find commit that broke it. Please, download sources with git and check
15 that webcam really works with 2.6.32 and fails with 2.6.34. After that
16 go through bisect (`git help bisect` or google has a good explanation on
17 how to do that) to find excact commit that broke webcam. Try to apply
18 that commit and revert it to check that webcam really works before and
19 fails after. After that just mail to authors of commit and subsystem
20 maintainers (you can find them in /usr/src/linux/MAINTAINERS file. After
21 fix found, please, open bug report so we could apply fix in Gentoo as
22 soon as possible.
