Ah ok, so you have the same one as I have, that model was never supported
by the old ibmcam driver, so I take it you never had it working with the
old ibmcam driver ?

Given that is the same camera as I have using the ibm_netcam_pro module
option is definitely the right thing to do.

I noticed in your lsusb -v output that you're doing this from within vmware?

I think that is the cause of things not working. This camera will not
even work when connected through a real hub, let alone through a
virtual one. The only way this camera works for me is when it is
connected to a usb port directly on the motherboard, running Linux
directly on the hardware, can you please try that ?
