Xirlink IBM Netcamera Working

Wow, two in one night! I just got my Xirlink IBM Netcamera working.
The trick was using the yast hardware info to determine what device I had so I could do the right google search. After that, it was as easy as typing the following as root.

modprobe ibmcam

That adds it as a v4l device and after restarting gnomemeeting I was able to select it as my video device. Sweet. Here is the link to the site that explained it to me. It is old but it did the trick. Now I need to get my kids intel play camera working and I will be all set for web cams.
