ok, we should decide the entries. Perhaps the one already used for wifi cards should be ok.

  1. vendor
  2. model name
  3. vendorid:productid code
  4. year of commercialization
  5. interface
  6. distribution
  7. does it work?
  8. kernel libre version
  9. description

Other useful informations could be inserted inside the description entry. Comments or suggestions are welcome :)

I can't find the name of my webcam either, sometimes it does not appear in the output of the lspci command

I think that this 2 sites could be useful on this matter: Something like that would be great but should work with free software.
