Configure a Canyon CN-WCAM313 webcam

[Andrew Jarrett]

To check if the module was loaded type:
sudo lsmod | grep (module name here)
    If nothing shows up here just try "sudo lsmod" and try to find what
looks like the module needed.


To try to load the module manually:
sudo modprobe -v (module name here)


To list all of the modules on the system:
ls -R /lib/modules/'uname -r'/kernel
     'uname -r' is your kernel version. type "uname -r" at the command
prompt and replace the output into the command above.

I hope you know or can find the name of the module; I think it would
probably be named "spca5xx", but I am not sure.  If you can't find the
module on the system, there must have been something wrong with the install
of the driver.  If there are any errors while running these commands, try to
quote them on your next post.
