While searching for hints how to get the Vivicam 355 working in Linux, I found that Lycoris Desktop/LX supports it.

I looked into their sources and they have a patch for adding unusual_devs-Entries to the kernel-source.

I also found that they have two patches for sony-cameras not in the kernel.

I testet the Vivicam-Patch and it works. I didn't test the Sony-patches, so I don't know about them. (I assume they work, ask lycoris for details)

Please apply the Vivicam-Patch to the kernel. I've put the patches online, because to get them from lycoris, you have to download their source-iso-cd.

The Sony-patches are at:

Please send these to the usb-storage mantainer.

Also the ranges for some of these devices seems wrong, as if the author didn't understand that 0x9999 is not the largest value for that field :)

thanks,
