gspca Linux webcam driver

March 2005, I started to play with webcams in Linux and found this driver very useful.
I did contribute to the project and added support for the Creative Webcam NX, Logitech QuickCam for Notebook, webcams based on the PAC207BCA SoC and webcams based on the PAC7311 SoC. Here are the list of supported webcams.


And now the webcams I own:
