USB drivers
===========

The USB boards are identified by an identification called USB ID.

The ``lsusb`` command allows identifying the USB IDs::

    $ lsusb
    ...
    Bus 001 Device 015: ID 046d:082d Logitech, Inc. HD Pro Webcam C920
    Bus 001 Device 074: ID 2040:b131 Hauppauge
    Bus 001 Device 075: ID 2013:024f PCTV Systems nanoStick T2 290e
    ...

Newer camera devices use a standard way to expose themselves as such,
via USB Video Class. Those cameras are automatically supported by the
``uvc-driver``.

Older cameras and TV USB devices uses USB Vendor Classes: each vendor
defines its own way to access the device. This section contains
card lists for such vendor-class devices.

While this is not as common as on PCI, sometimes the same USB ID is used
by different products. So, several media drivers allow passing a ``card=``
parameter, in order to setup a card number that would match the correct
settings for an specific product type.

The current supported USB cards (not including staging drivers) are
listed below\ [#]_.

   some of the drivers have sub-drivers, not shown at this table.
   In particular, gspca driver has lots of sub-drivers,
   for cameras not supported by the USB Video Class (UVC) driver,
   as shown at :doc:`gspca card list <gspca-cardlist>`.
