Looking at the inf file from the windows drivers it is indeed quite likely an spca50x based chip, what you can try doing (as root) is: modprobe gspca_spca501 cd /sys/bus/usb/drivers/spca501 echo '0x8086 0x0431' > new_id And see if it works, if not you can also try the spca500 and spca508 drivers. Please unplug, rmmod the last tried driver, and then replug the device between different attempts. Regards, Hans
