Having this support now in FreeBSD for my multimedia/pwcbsd based cam in Skype, I'd like to have the same for the cam in my EeePC 900, about which Linux says: [ 11.540000] Linux video capture interface: v2.00 [ 11.560000] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device CNF7129 (04f2:b071) [ 11.690000] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo [ 11.690000] USB Video Class driver (SVN r2008.02.27) Any chance to get this supported in the future?
