14 This used to work really well with the pwc set of drivers, but support
15 was removed from the kernel, and thus Gentoo, a few months ago. I ended
16 up buying a Logitech Quickcam 9000 to replace mine, which has much
17 better picture, and is supported by the uvc set of drivers - these seem
18 to be under more active development.
