[edit] NX Pro
- Mandriva 10.1 doesn't recognized the webcam out of the box. There is no module for. I try to install the Zc030x driver(http://zc0302.sourceforge.net) but the install failed so the webcam is not usable in Mandriva Linux 10.1
[edit] Vista
- This webcam works under Mandriva 2006 using the dkms-spca5xx package. Quality is not too good yet, but neither is the webcam. I had to do no work whatsoever to make it work, just install the package.

[edit] QuickCam Pro 4000
- Now it works with GnomeMeeting (without sound though...), to avoid error about YUV420 I had to install pwcx from http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/
- There was a bug - at first - making freeze or reboot Mandriva 9.2 though it worked nearly flawlessly with Mandriva 9.1. This bug and its correction is described in the errata http://www1.mandrivalinux.com/en/92errata.php3#webcam (just upgrade kernel)
- I still have to get xawtv to work (worked in 9.1...), I currently get a segfault (BenoitAudouard)
[edit] Packard Bell
[edit] DCW-1
- I could not get this to work or to find a supported driver for it.

[edit] ToUcam Pro
- Worked with Camstream out of the box (AnneWilson)

[edit] TV-IP100
- Relatively cheap webcam.
- It has a webserver, so it has an ethernet port which I hooked to my router. They do have a wireless version, but i have't tried it yet. The funny thing is that my camera's case says it's wireless, so their quality control is a little off I think.
- Since the webcam ip was factory set to 192.168.0.20, which is not on my routers subnet, I had to run this at the cli to browse to it: *route add -host 192.168.0.20 eth0*
