can't get device qualifier: Operation not permitted
can't get debug descriptor: Operation not permitted
cannot read device status, Operation not permitted (1)
I tried to open the first link but is broken, and the second is for me a bit difficult! I block myself at the start, when he say:
"Put the files with ".patch" in the sources folder and run them. We need this patches because we don't want the webcam to be upside down."
But which source folder? In the archive there isn't a source folder.. :S
Another (basical) question: is that driver works also for me? I'm on Lucid! 
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: perhaps I have another webcam.. 
if I search for r5u870 drivers it pops out that those drivers are only for those notebook:
- 05ca:1810 HP Pavilion Webcam - UVC
- 05ca:1830 Sony Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC2 (for VAIO SZ)
- 05ca:1832 Sony Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC3 (for VAIO UX)
- 05ca:1833 Sony Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC2 (for VAIO AR1)
