I was extremely surprised when the kernel gave me the illusion of plug and play, using the gspca driver for this device.
Unfortunately the gspca driver only supports the 046d:08da cam with the same name.
It looks like the actual driver to be used is the one at http://mag.cx/messenger/ , which is prepackaged in community under the name qc-usb-messenger.
Unfortunately, despite seemingly detecting everything...

/dev/video0 [v4l]: ioctl VIDIOCGCAP: Inappropriate ioctl for device
libv4l2: error getting capabilities: Inappropriate ioctl for device
ioctl: VIDIOC_QUERYCAP(driver="";card="";bus_info="";version=0.0.0;capabilities=0x0 []): Inappropriate ioctl for device
no video grabber device available Does a wrong ioctl mean it's not the right driver?
Is it common that devices with the same id are in fact different devices?
Any help is very welcome,
thanks for your time.
