Hi, uvcvideo and gspca are now included in the kernel (as of 2.6.26 for
the first, and 2.6.27 for the later), but with earlier kernel there is
nothing to prevent you from compiling the module and use it, it has
worked for me before. For uvcvideo which I use with a Logitech Quickcam
pro 9000 and a Creative Live! cam optia AF (or something like that...)
You'll find all necessary instructions on http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/
Alternatively I think you can use module-assistant to compile it "the
Debian way".
