Is that correct? or am I misinterpreting? If these drivers do patch the kernel...can I have something that doesn''t? With Regards. Sanjay.

I recommend Axis webcams. While pricey, many of their models are client OS-independent, and they run a form of Linux as their OS.

Whats the difference....something must b different in hw. Why should one buy these rather than the cheap ones? any performance/bandwidth optimization gains or maybe picture clarity? With regards. Sanjay.
Well you could read the specs on the cameras and compare you might have a better idea of the price/performance difference for the money. Generally speaking, the more expensive ones have better lenses, better resolution (for still photos and streaming), and better support (in windows).
