Alexander,

I am running a very recent version of FreeBSD RELENG_8
FreeBSD Sam.PuffyBSD.Com 8.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 8.1-PRERELEASE #5: Fri
Jun 11 09:16:08 CDT 2010
root at FNFS.PuffyBSD.Com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/WORKSTATION  amd64

I was wondering if you would have the patches for FreeBSD 8.x
available for download that make the webcam's available to Skype, We
have 4 Logitech c250 webcams
they, currently work from pwcview and show up on ugen 1.2 like this:

Sam# usbconfig list
ugen0.1: <OHCI root HUB nVidia> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=FULL
(12Mbps) pwr=ON
ugen1.1: <EHCI root HUB nVidia> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH
