Then I'm sure I'll receive the documents I requested in my email >to Philips. I have Logitech 4000s, Philips 740s and Logitech Sphere cameras running 24/7. I always run latest stock kernel. If anyone takes over the driver - I volunteer as a tester. I do not have enough skills in C to write a kernel module but I can patch a kernel and test the cameras under real conditions - night and day including rotating the Sphere. That is what I can offer as being part of a solution. I can also maintain a Sourceforge site if needed. But my 1.5 years of C experience (I am a hardware electrical engineer by profession) is not enough to maintain the code for a kernel module.
