    Webcam Problems

    Hello everybody.

    I've got a WL500g Premium (V1) with Oleg's firmware 1.9.2.7 (latest from googlecode). Until this morning it was 1.9.2.7-d-r2624, now it is 1.9.2.7-rtn-r3497.
    Right now in the bottom USB slot is a 1GB flash stick that I use for storage, the top port is used for webcam.
    I've tried a lot of webcams and none of them seem to work.
    I've tried the following:
    • Creative Live! Cam Vista IM (VF0260)
    • Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000
    • Logitech QuickCam Express Messenger (current)

    I've tried all drivers (PWC & OV51 in 1.9.2.7-d, MJPEG & YUV in 1.9.2.7-rtn), each time pressing Apply and then Finish, Save & Restart. Each time pressing preview or accessing the webpage via http://192.168.1.1:7776 after the reboot says the same:
    "WL500g.Premium Web Camera" and an undisplayable <IMG> with alt="Image is not ready"

    If I do lsusb I get
    Code:
    Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
    Bus 002 Device 003: ID 046d:08da Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Messanger
    Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1976:6025
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002
    I have attached the full ouput of lsusb -v.

    I don't know what to check in console to see if it is working. Do you have any ideas?

    Try to use a webcam that the Linux UVC driver supports (I have good experience with UVC):
