Are you running all of these as modules, or compiled into the kernel?
I have a 230A, and I show this in my logs when it connects:

Jul 28 20:29:44 sifl kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.0-1, assigned
address 2
Jul 28 20:29:44 sifl kernel: usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod
0x4a4/0x15) is not claimed by any active driver.
Jul 28 20:29:47 sifl /etc/hotplug/usb.agent: ... no modules for USB
product 4a4/15/100

I'm not sure if what I need to do is modify the unusual_devs.h like
for the 100a, or am I not loading all the needed kernel modules? I
have my usbcore, usb-uhci, scsi_mod, sd_mod, sr_mod, udf, and sg
modules loaded. I'm assuming I'm just missing something silly. There
doesn't seem to be anything to be found on Google regarding this
camera and linux. I'm testing an unusual_dev entry right now, as
that's all I have to go on at this point.

Oh, I'm running kernel 2.4.20 with devfs.

Thanks...
