Actually cc-ing this time.  Sorry for the noise.

Thanks again.

If you get a chance to test Hans's media-for_v3.5 branch, that would
be interesting.  It works like so:

 0. prerequisites:

	apt-get install git build-essential

 1. get the kernel history, if you don't already have it:

	git clone \
	  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

 2. fetch gspca updates:

	cd linux
	git remote add gspca \
	  git://linuxtv.org/hgoede/gspca.git
	git fetch gspca

 3. configure, build, test:

	git checkout gspca/media-for_v3.5
	cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # current configuration
	scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO
	make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration
	make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build
	dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root
	reboot
	... test test test ...

I ask because there have been some gspca core fixes cooking that are
not part of the 3.4.y tree, though none of them looks especially
relevant.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
