quickcam setup problem

I am trying to setup my webcam following the wiki and this is what i get when  i do modprobe quickcam:

FATAL: Error inserting quickcam (/lib/modules/2.6.13-archck1/kernel/drivers/usb/misc/quickcam.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

What am i doin wrong? Thnx.

The result of dmesg is "quickcam: Unknown symbol remap_page_range"

Re: quickcam setup problem

remap_page_range() is deprecated and was replaced by remap_pfn_range (I think it was changed in Kernel 2.6.11). You need to update the driver's code.
A word of caution: the quickcam driver does not support compressed image mode, and therefore the frame rate you are going to get is pretty low. I ended up dumping my Quickcam Express camera for something which is better supported undre Linux.

Hope this helps.
