[Bug 201030] Re: [7.10] "could net set buffer info" on OmniVision Technologies Laptop Integrated Webcam

[Yasir M Elsharif]

Hello Guys, here are my outputs.
I have almost the same problem, and I am running ubuntu 8.10(64-bit), on DELL inspiron 1420, the two annoying problem I am having are the webcam and the mic.
***************************
one more thing is: why the webcam appears sometimes as Omnivision and sometimes laptop integrated webcam?
