Hey all.  I downloaded a kernel patch for my Create USB camera model PD1001.  I'll tell you the whole story just in case I missed something:

1. plug the camera into the USB port
2. check messages output: vend/prod 0x41e/0x400d
3. check www.qbik.com/usb/devices for a refrence on this prod
4. locate http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=1310
5. go to attached driver page:
   members.brabant.chello.nl/~j.vreeken/se401/
6. grab the diff file for the epcam driver
7. cd /usr/src/linux.2.4.20 
8. (as root) patch -p1<epcam-0.6.diff
    STDOUT of above command:patching file Documentation/Configure.help
patching file drivers/usb/Config.in
patching file drivers/usb/Makefile
patching file drivers/usb/epcam.c
patching file drivers/usb/epcam.h
patching file include/linux/videodev.h

9. make xconfig

I would expect the epcam driver to be where the other USB drivers are located but it's just not there.  Do I need to run a make mrproper to clear out the old stuff prior to being able to find the epcam driver in the kernel config?  I kind of don't want to do that as I like my existing config and just want to add the driver for the camera.

Any ideas?

Greg
