That's because FC5 includes a 2.6.16 beta kernel, which advertises the 2.6.15 
kernel version but includes changes from 2.6.16 which breaks source 
compatibility. the linux-uvc driver should work with 2.6.16, but think your 
kernel is a 2.6.15. Try to modify the version number in the kernel Makefile 
to 2.6.16 and see if it helps.
