Ok, what is its usb id (they tend to be unique for Logitech cams) ?

Ok, let me know how it goes. If it does not work, guess what I want you to bring along

Ack, only one small problem, which is another reason why Luca's drivers should slowly be phased
out, Luca has gone closed source with his sn9cxxx driver.

There is an out of tree driver for the new sn9c2xx models you talk about though, with active
developers, I've pushing them to get it into the mainline, I'll give it another try soonish.
