Quickcam antics, module not playing nice with usb device


Mornin' folks.

I've been wanting to redeploy my webcam for some time, but I hadn't ever been able to get the qc-usb driver to compile and insert properly under debian (testing, yes, I've tried the package they provide!), so I finally broke out a spare box and put Trustix Secure Linux on it (because that was the only distro that would boot). I did a very minimal install thanks to memory constraints and a rather funny problem, so I pieced my dev tools together from the RPMs on the cd.

After compiling/installing xawtv, I tried to compile qc-usb, then realized I needed to install my kernel source. After putting the source on for a kernel version one or two releases above mine (not enough to make much of a difference) and configuring it, I realized I had *no* v4l support, so I built it as a module.

I got the qc-usb driver to compile cleanly, then I insmod -f'd the videodev.o and insmod -f'd the quickcam.o modules. They loaded (with error: kernel version mismatch, I didn't think it was anything to worry about.)

Problem is, the module doesn't want to see the camera. Lsusb (which came from a usbutils package for turbolinux, since trustix doesn't seem to have a package for it) shows that the camera is plugged in. lsmod shows the modules are loaded. But dmesg tells me nothing claims the camera. There also isn't anything at /dev/video* or /proc/video.

Is it possible to specify what address on the usb for the module to look at? What should I do?

Code:
root@rambo ~/qc-usb-0.6.2# dmesg
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
usb.c: registered new driver quickcam
usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:11.0-1 address 2
