I never got the chance that I wanted to get this working (had to put out some other fires at work). My weekend is booked, but I'm going to sit down Monday morning and tackle this.

I really want to help but have not got around to it because I am in my senior year of UNI and it is pretty hectic.

I am away at the moment but can post a blow by blow description in the next few days if that would help. The basic idea is as follows: 1. You need to build the kernel under OE so you have the .config file the build produces. 2. Copy over the .bb recipe for the kernel build and associated files into user.collection (you are going to effectively edit the kernel build so you don't want to mess up you base configuration). 3. Go into the directory where the previously built kernel .config file lives and do make ARCH=arm menuconfig. 4. follow through the steps exactly as for the documented buildroot approach to reconfigure the kernel build to add the various drivers (pwc and V4l etc) configured as modules. 5. Save the new configuration and copy the resulting .config file, replacing the defconfig file in your kernel build files in user.collection. 6. Rebuild the kernel - bitbake -c rebuild gumstix-kernel. 7. This will give you a new kernel with the appropriate modules enabled and a set of ipks with the pwc module and 4 ( I think) other modules that pwc depends on. 8. Install the kernel and get your system running - then install the ipks. The package manager will tell you in which order they are needed. 9. Once installed (I think the installer does a depmod - a automatically) when you plug your camera in the module should load up and the camera would be recognised. I don't think the system will create the /dev/video0 device until then. My system worked fine with the Philips spc900nc camera and can be used with motion to put images on a webpage.

Hi Brian, Where are the previous kernel .config files kept in OE? Also, I do not find any defconfig files in my user.collection, was there something I was supposed to set up prior?
