Ok so I did some more checking and I might be out of luck. I checked for
the the VID/PID and got 0x6f0/0xde01 which is registered to TNC
Industrial. I found their web page and they actually have windows
drivers for other similar part numbers, but not this one. I did however
try my QCam Express (with the qc drivers of course) and got the same
problem with /dev/video. I know this isn't the correct place for this
question but, if anyone can help can you mail me at wesneski@swbell.net?
