well, the initial goal was to get a webcam

doing some digging i see that there is no
/dev/video..
so

cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV video

seemed like an option.. it said

udev active, devices will be created in
/dev/.static/dev/

what is this? how do i get v4l support into the
machine?
and ofcourse, the borader goal: how to get the
webcam
working? but first things first...

What type of webcam is it?

it is a logitech quickcam IM. lsusb identifies as
046d:08a0. btw, my system is debian unstable with
2.6.17-1-486 kernel.
