It is an USB device that can plug directly on the lid of IBM laptops. http://commerce.www.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce/ProductDisplay?cntrfnbr=1&prmenbr=1&prnbr=04P6135&cntry=840&lang=en_US The only "technical" information in the documentation that comes with the camera is: IBM UltraPort camera II, USB, VGA. Then it says that the Windows driver is a TWAIN camera driver. The Windows device manager puts it under "Imaging devices", without any detail. There is a Linux driver at http://www.gutwin.org/cam/source/ I would like to write a driver for FreeBSD, using the Linux driver as a reference. Since I am new to USB programming, could you give me some hints on where to start? Is there an existing FreeBSD USB driver that I can use as a skeleton? thanks marco To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
