Dear folks,

I just bought a generic webcam, in windows it works OK, but it keeps there unnamed. (I mean, it installs only because the cd-driver, but says only GENERIC WEBCAM)

So, back in ubuntu 7.10, it just recognizes it as: (as listed in lsusb)

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 1b17:6111

But doesn't work. And much less auto-load modules nor anything like that.

I'm not so much into linux, that's why I ask for somebody's hand.

Does anybody know how to install this webcam? Isn't there a generic driver for it? Works at 480k and 2mp. Says NogaNet (local brand but I think it's just generic, imported from China).

Hope anyone can give me a hand.

Thank you very much in advance,

Mauricio

The ID corresponds to Crypto CME2+ Series II webcam - for which I can only find Greek pages.
Return the camera to the store.

Have tried EasyCam, but doesn't find anything

Then it is likely that your Web Cam HW does not support Linux. Return it to the vendor and ask for another one.
