5.1. USB drivers — The Linux Kernel 5.18.5-gnu-1 documentation

# 5.1. 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[1].

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 gspca card list.
