Dang that's crazy. both of my webcams work thanks to the linux-uvc project although I have yet to find any use for them. Only thing that's working for sure is Ekiga... I really wish gaim (pidgin) would implement support.

I think that he should some how be credited I mean as the article said he has made hundreds of thousands of web cams work thanks to his diligence.

I wonder what distro he uses maybe he can work on wireless drivers next :)
