However I've changed the HOW-TO in order to improve the installation procedure after the application of the patch!!
Unluckily with the new versions of UVC driver it can be impossible to apply my...

[ 33.554209] v4l2_common: no version magic, tainting...

$ lsmod | grep uvcvideo
on my system I get this output, you should get something similar:

I'm really sorry that you have this kind of problem.
have you tried to patch your uvcvideo.c by hand?
It could be possible that you have downloaded the last version of the uvc driver and maybe the...
