Good day,
I'm getting an error every time I plug-in my webcam as a result the corresponding module is not being loaded automatically so I have to load it by myself. Any one knows a way to fix this?
This is the error:
load-modules.sh: 'usb:v0AC8p305Bd0100dcFFdsc00dp00icFFiscFFipFF' is not a valid module or alias name
There's no kernel module for your webcam installed. You'll have to find out what driver it uses and udev will load the driver when you hotplug your webcam.
Actually it is installed, it is called gspca_zc3xx, if I load it the webcam works, the thing is it is not being loaded automatically
All modules have device aliases for the devices it supports. Udev just tries to load a module by devicename and gives your error if it can't succeed.
Should I report this to the udev developers?
adding the module name to modules part of /etc/rc.conf might help. it will be loaded automatically then.
