linux uvc video webcam support kernel 2.6.25

I thought the kernel had support for uvc webcams, but I cant get my webcam to work with the new kernel.
Anything I am missing?

The kernel itself doesn't support it (yet) AFAIK.
Most likely you need the linux-uvc package.

The PKGBUILD in AUR is configured that it doesn't work with 2.6.25
The top comment (by imrehg on 20080410) proposes a new PKGBUILD which will (most likely) work.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
