You have 2 drivers: sn9c102 and gspca v1.

- sn9c102 may or may not handle correctly your webcam.

- gspca v1 is not maintained anymore. You _must_ use gspca v2 instead.

As both drivers may handle your webcam, when both are generated, only
sn9c102 does the job. If it does not work, you must change the media
config removing the sn9c102 driver.

You should not use this mailing list. The new one is in the Cc: field
of this message.

Cheers.
