To get help,  you need to provide a bit more information.  If you have  
tracked your way to this list, I'll assume you have actually tried to  
use the camera and not succeeded.  In that case, you need to tell us  
what you have tried and what errors you have gotten.  Other useful  
information would be the output of running lsusb from a command prompt  
(Konsole or xterm, for example, depending on your Desktop  
Environment.)  What program have you tried to use the camera with?  Are  
there any errors or just that it says it can't find any camera.  It  
would also help if you could post what dmesg says right after plugging  
in the camera (defer that for now if you don't know what it is or how  
to get it.)  (In all cases, it's good for you to confirm or deny any  
assumptions we make, and to let us know if we do request something you  
don't know how to do.)
