Thx,

Your device has a revision of 3.0a (the firmware programmers did not
seem to fully grasp the concept of the d in bcd (it stands for decimal),
which is different from mine which is revision 3.01 . Your version is
referred to as a model2 by the old driver, where as mine is a model3.

This is both bad and good news, the bad news is I cannot give you an
already tested driver to fix your issues. The good news is, that this
means that, assuming that you are willing to help out with testing, we
can now also verify that model 2 cams will work with the new driver.

So would you be willing to test the new driver (when it is finished) ?

Hans
