Making it Work
Expecting Conexant CX2310x to work, but this is still under investigation.
Firmware
The unit does not use an loadable firmware.
Drivers
See Conexant CX2310x.
Test System
The device is connected to a multicore AMD A6-3500 system.

Kernel Modules
To get the difference the lsmod was logged before and after plugging in the device, then the "diff" command creates the output.
Remains to be filled in. Currently no difference found.
Remote Control Support
There is no remote control.
Snapshot Control Support
The housing is equipped with an push bottom to initiate a video snapshot. Operating of this shows no effect in VLC application nor /var/log/messages.
