Hi Scott,

At UDS we discuss about the SRU policy for kernel team, and now hardware enablement patches are only acceptable in the form of quirks or ID additions. The patch for HP Webcam is against the policy. Please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Specs/SRUPolicyReveiw

Fortunately, We already have this commit at next version of Ubuntu kernel. The HP webcam will be supported at Karmic 9.10

I am sorry to tell you this. Before the Karmic released, could you use mainline build kernel instead? You could find them at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30/ . I have checked, v2.6.30 has the commit.

I will leave this bug open in case of anything changed.
