Not working on my 500gP & Logitech Quickcam Sphere MP. Get an error "driver not claimed (vend.0x46d/prod.0x8cc). Any idea's how to solve this one?
The Sphere cams need the new UVC Stuff ( http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ ) which is hard to get working in dd-wrt as far as I have a lot of webcams, but NONE of them supports UVC... This stuff works with recent OpenWRT Kamikaze branch ( http://wiki.openwrt.org/webcam ), but it has kernel 2.6 and not 2.4 like DD-WRT.
Personally I have found no hint about UVC and 2.4kernels...
I have got a philips 720k (not the 720k/40 the older 720k), i tried the phil.tar.gz drivers but the pwc does not work with my webcam (usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x5a9/0x518) is not claimed by any active driver.)

in recent builds of _my_ images there is a ov511 driver...

I want to know is it support for ASUS WL520gu (Broadcom 5354 CPU)?
Sorry. Unknown Device for me and for the table of hardware also...
But the CPU is also used in WHR-HP-G125, WHR-G125 and WRT54G 8.0
So there is a chance it already works since OpenWRT runs on those CPUs afaik... _________________ DD-WRT F.A.Q. Webcam Kiel

I successfuly got this to work on my WL-500W but I was wondering if there is a way to change the frame rate from tv origional 1 frame every 4 seconds to something better?
i have a quickcam pro 4000. managed to load the pwc and videodev drivers, but cant get any thing after that. can someone point me in the right direction. there is no /dev/video device on my router. using eko build 11604

Just to put this somewhere:
I took Eko's DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/13/09) std-nokaid-usb
and put the webcam stuff in there...
Tested on Linksys WRT600N v1.1
with the two webcams mentioned below...
gaganwalia: look if dmesgs tells you something and it should be /dev/v4l/video0
Laggylarry: for spca-webcams it would be okay, but for pwc-webcams the load would increase a lot... if you need video get 2.6kernel (maybe openwrt) and a uvc-webcam. using mjpeg-streamer you can get incredibly good streaming results with nearly no cpu-usage since the cams encode the jpeg stream.
have it running using a WL500gP and quality rocks...
during german daytime you might want to look at http://webcam-kiel.de/static-html/windcam3-compare.html which shows the good quality... and it could stream, but i disabled streaming because of bandwidth _________________ DD-WRT F.A.Q. Webcam Kiel

Just want to say thanks once again. It's working great and I hope one day dd-wrt will move to the 2.6 kernel for broadcom. I've used the setup you mention with openwrt and love it. I have this Routerstation here that takes a 2.6 kernel dd-wrt firmware build. I'm thinking it could run all the same stuff as openwrt if anyone is down for making it possible

I have used your firmwares for a while now, and without issue. However, when I updated to your dd-wrt.v24-11762_NEWD_std-nokaid_usb-webcam firmware, my /opt packages no longer work. The drive has to be mounted through the gui, under Services|USB, and you have to set the Automatic Disk Mount to On with a Disk Mount Point of /opt. That done, I can access the drive again. Yet, none of the packages are loading. The only thing I know of I did different this time was make the partition ext3 instead of ext2, but I can't see how that would fubar anything. Any ideas on how to get those groovy optware packages (thttpd, xinetd, swat, samba, et al) to respond again?

Could be some missing libs. In older builds I had some static links pointing to opt for those packages, but since I only made webcam and not the fancy automounting stuff (because it is in the main firmware) they were left out.
Plus: in the std-nokaid-usb stuff there is not much space left, but I will try to put the symlinks back in. But not before tonight since I won't be home earlied _________________ DD-WRT F.A.Q. Webcam Kiel

"The image itself does check for usb-disc on bootup, mounts it and runs EVERY .startup in /opt/etc. So you can easily add more and more and more.
Additionally it runs all scripts inside /opt/etc/init.d/ which are marked as executable with parameter start.
This makes optware easy! a whole lot of easy... "
It does not appear to be loading the scripts in /opt/etc/init.d.
