 Configuration of USB Device Driver for Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000 in ORBIT Node:

 Debian Linux flavour 2.6.12 running in ORBIT nodes have source code for USB. But the baseline image in ORBIT does not have the USB code integrated into kernel. So the first step is to configure the USB into kernel ( i.e., compiling the kernel with the USB code) .

 The kernel image that comes up has USB support built-in now.  Now we need to install the device driver for the Web camera ( Logitech Quickpro 4000, in our case). A Philips Webcam device driver (pwc) is built for the purpose. More information on this is at : http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/. The best case here is to just select the right options in ‘make menuconfig’, rebuild the kernel, plug in the web camera to see if the Device is detected.

 NOTE: The options that you select after a ‘make menuconfig’ can be selected as “modules” as well. However I didn’t try that option as yet.
