Hi, 

I am trying to load drivers for my webcam microdia. 

In the process I have come across this problem missing /dev/video/ 

error shown is as follows: 

comment: first try, more to come ;-)
v4l2: unable to open '/dev/video0': No such file or directory
v4l2: ioctl set mute failed: Bad file descriptor
v4l2: 0 frames successfully processed, 0 frames dropped.

I have the following kernel installed 2.6.28-14-generic
And I am using ubuntu 9.01 Jaunty. 

I have checked with ls /dev/
there is no /video0 or /video there.  


Only once I have that installed I can use my webcam.

Thanks and regards,
Suraj Swami.
