I assume when 3Com talks about dropping their
webcam, they're talking about the HomeConnect
Webcam.
This is actually manufactured by Vista Imaging,
and currently there are no released Linux drivers
for it. There are a couple of ongoing projects
but it seems the authors have been scared off
reverse engineering the camera and releasing the
driver by DMCA / UCITA fears.
VistaImaging have talked about a linux drivers but
one of the points they made when
enquiries were made was that they were unsure of whether they could release drivers under their licence with 3Com.
Hopefully, with 3Com losing interest in the device, drivers (or at least information) may be forthcoming!
