In case you don't have this information, here is a line from lsusb:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0545:8080 Xirlink, Inc. IBM C-It Webcam

Hopefully the items you have ordered are the same model.


I have the same usb-id, but I'm working on the driver now and it
seems XirLink distinguishes between different models by bcdversion,
instead of using different usb ids for each product.

Can you send me a mail with the output of "lsusb -v", then I can
see if you have the same version as I have for testing.


Sure, attached.


Thx,

Your device has a revision of 3.0a (the firmware programmers did not
seem to fully grasp the concept of the d in bcd (it stands for decimal),
which is different from mine which is revision 3.01 . Your version is
referred to as a model2 by the old driver, where as mine is a model3.

This is both bad and good news, the bad news is I cannot give you an
already tested driver to fix your issues. The good news is, that this
means that, assuming that you are willing to help out with testing, we
can now also verify that model 2 cams will work with the new driver.

So would you be willing to test the new driver (when it is finished) ?

Sure, just let me know what kernel the patch is against. As you say, my cams are Model2 in the old nomenclature.

Interesting that the size is set to 352x240 rather than CIF 352x288. And while xawtv sort of works with the latest 2.6.33.5-112.fc13.x86_64 koji kernel, cheese doesn't, not that I need it, but it worked on the early kernels.
