A UVC driver is contained in the webcamd port, but it is V4L2-only. FreeBSD's Linux compatibility layer does not support that, so it will not work with Linux binaries, including Skype. If you want Skype support, it's probably best to pick up a used camera on eBay that works with the pwc port. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
