The best chance to get it fixed would be if there was a security issue with the
old driver :)
But if the old driver is totally broken, an update should make sense. Since
it's a separate module, there shouldn't be too much danger of breaking
something else along the way.

The in-kernel driver was fixed long ago. Months before edgy was
released. So yes, the feisty kernel is OK.
It's just a pity that edgy released with a broken driver...

A few words to let you know the linux kernel 2.6.18 includes pwc 10.0.12

Hum... Version 9.0.2 is the last version of the "old" driver, see

On my Dapper box (fully updated) the location of the pwc module is:

Ben - any updates on the supposed patent issues? Looks like that was a
problem with a previous version of pwc, not the current one.
Things to do -
1. Contact Luc Saillard to get his opinion on any patent issues

It seems like Canonical, Ltd. does not have priority to fix this bug. Or
there is not enough resources (skilled people and/or time) to fix bugs.
I've noticed huge amount of bugs in launchpad.net - it takes long time,
when they could fix them with current tempo. I think there is no point
to release
How come the importance of this bug is "undecided"?
Edgy will be out in a week and this bug is still there, what do we have
to do as users to get this fixed?

Same problem here with a Creative Webcam 5. The last driver from
Saillard's web solves de problem too. I attach the output from
"camstream" because it says something about ioctl that I supose may be
of help debuging the driver.
