A couple of quick pointers to help you get more help:

1) post the output of lsusb for the device, and google for it

2) if you don't mind looking at a high volume message area, subscribe to 
 gmane.comp.video.video4linux at gmane.org (mailing-list to newsgroup 
gateway) and post a query there.

3) There are also the sites http://moinejf.free.fr/ and
