I have a Sony Vaio CR120 with a Motion Eye Webcam that doesn't work with the newest kernel. It seems that I would be able to get it to work with kernels 2.6.24-17-generic or 2.6.24-16-generic, but 8.04 Ubuntu is running 2.6.24-18-generic.

Here is the output for the lsusb command.
Code:
steven@steven-laptop:~/Desktop/r5u870-VCC6$ lsusb

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000  
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I have some experience with linux and can usually get around okay, but no ones solution on the forums so far. Every ones fix fails when i try to compile it on the make command. It looks something like this ...

Code:
steven@steven-laptop:~/Desktop/r5u870-VCC6$ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.24-18-generic/build M=/home/steven/Desktop/r5u870-VCC6 V=0 modules
