Hi!

By looking at the output of lsmod I see that two modules are loaded up
when I plug in my Logitech QuickCam 4000 Pro:

snd_usb_audio 56552 0
audio 36612 0

Also, if I boot up my machine with this webcam plugged in, kudzu will
detect the new hardware, correctly finding the name of the device
(Logitech QuickCam 4000 Pro) but categorizes it wrongly and asks __5__
times what I want it to do regarding the configuration of this *sound
card*!

Why 5 times (Win XP beeps twice when I plug it in, I guess once for the
webcam itself and once for the built-in mic), and why a sound card?

I would like my system to understand that this is a webcam and upload the
pwc.o module and some usb-audio module for the mic.

What should I do?
Catalin
