the uvc driver is incorporated in the kernel.
The video node should be created automatic.

But if it is not present try these commands and then attache again your webcam

Code: Select all
mknod /dev/video0 c 81 0
chmod 666 /dev/video0

Hi

Amazing and then I do not think it is a driver issue.

What url do you use to watch the cam stream ? Maybe there is an issue with the link "http://nasname/.webcam/stream_motion.php". You can try to use directly the stream flux from the short url "http://nasname:8090"

Also it may have issue with some web browsers; For example, the link "http://nasname:8090" does not work with Internet Explorer according with its version. With Chrome or Firefox there is no issue
