Topic: QuickCam Express not recognized.

The content of this topic has been archived on 19 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello

I run Kamikaze 7.09 kernel 2.4. on Asus WL500gP.

My webcam is recognized by Ubuntu 6.06LTS as:
ID 046d:0840 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express
and work fine.
But Kamikaze does not recognize it at all: ID 0000:0000

Any advise as how to fix it?

N.B.

I tryed it on my 2nd WL500gP running Oleg firmware and it was recognized immediatly.

With OpenWrt you have to install additional packages to add support for your webcam. Seems the QuickCam Express is supported by the Quickcam Messenger & Communicate (qce-ga) driver. So install at least the following packages: kmod-video-quickcam and qc-usb-utils. You may also need to install extra packages to add USB support to your device. Then give it another try.

Thanks for your help!
But I cant fid these packagrs in standard repositories, any idea? Then if I understand it right the device should be first recognized by kernel with the correct ID before using any driver. So what extra packeges do you recommend?

Always compile by yourself. Use trunk.

OK, Thanks!
