Has anyone had any luck with Phillips webcams in Ubuntu/Warty?  I can't
quite figure out whether the PWC module still has to be compiled against
the kernel source, or whether it's included in the kernel now.  Either
way, as it stands, my cameras don't seem to work and I'm not sure where
to go next.  I see a note here:

http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/WartyWarthogKernel/view?searchterm=webcam

That says:

"Webcams  PWCX 9 Philips Webcam drivers
http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ 

but does that mean it's included in the Ubuntu kernel, or somebody would
like it to be?

Thanks --
