Subject: Re: webcam support/hardware compatibility list

...

I'd like to buy a webcam that has good support in fedora, preferably without any kernel patches/proprietary drivers. Any suggestions?

You might want to consider instead buying an internet webcam such as the Dlink DCS-900 or DCS-G900. Works over a network cable, can be individually addressed, and you can even do so remotely, if you have DYNDNS or the equivalent or a static IP address. The cost is a little higher than the cheap cameras, but the quality is very good and the advantages are worth it.
