HP Pavilion DV 2500 webcam driver for Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 etch

* Use the lsusb command to check if the usb id is something like:

ID 04f2:b016 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd

* The needed driver is the UVC (USB Video Class driver) which could be installed using a Debian utility for packing drivers automatically called modules assistant with this commands:

apt-get install modules-assistant
apt-get install modules-tools
m-a prepare
m-a a-i linux-uvc
apt-get install libpt-plugins-v4l2
modprobe uvcvideo

* And that's it ! ;) :) ... for testing your webcam you might use ekiga under Applications > Internet > Softphone ekiga or with Kopete

* You may want to add ucvideo to the /etc/modules file to load the webcam driver automatically when booting.
