USB webcam


I just picked up a USB webcam, the packaging doesn't list any information on what chipset its based on or a website/email address I could ask at.

dmesg wasn't much use either,

Code:
usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 7
Any ideas on how to get this working / how to get more information about it?

The packaging lists it as a 'Mini Internet Camera 302' if thats of any use what so ever to anyone.

Hmm, It seems it uses the spca5xx.c driver, detects the cam but im still having problems. Have a look at the most recent dmesg output

Code:
usb 1-3: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 11

Hmm.. bandwidth problem. It works without my bluetooth dongle in. Any ideas on how to force the cam to use less bandwidth? surely it can't really need that much
