I am a Suse 11 user.  I've got a 29032 which is working fine here.  I've also 
upgraded to the current Suse kernel (2.6.25.11-0.1-default in my case); the 
big difference I think is that I'm running the x86_64 version.

I did a normal upgrade from Suse 10.3, and am using the V4L in-tree version of 
the driver.  I didn't need to re-extract the firmware, but haven't checked 
whether my original firmware was carried forward or replaced.
