I have the following two cameras on-hand:

kernel: ugen0: WINBOND W9967CF, rev 1.10/1.10, addr 3
kernel: ugen2: Xirlink IBM PC Camera, rev 0.01/0.02, addr 8


I can't find anything to support either of these cameras. Just wondering
whether I've missed something obvious?

It appears that the W9967CF is the chipset used in the Creative Webcam
GO (the device I have does both webcam + single images - ie. can operate
as a digital still camera). It looks like the Xirlink has had a driver
written for Linux (ibmcam). Also the W996[87]CF.

What USB (web-)cameras are recommended?


Thanks,

Wayne
