Earthlink USB camera (xirlink)

[Mick Mearns]

Hello list;
  I have an "everything" install of FC1, and run KDE.
I have googled and searched freshmeat for the answer to no effect.

I have an older USB camera given away free by earthlink.
It works ok under W98se.

The model is Xirlink DSCPRO ksx-x9905

It is not detected at all when plugged in and powered up.

[mick at athlon mick]$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
/sbin/hotplug

I tried running '/sbin/hotplug usb' - no help.
[mick at athlon mick]$ less /var/log/dmesg | grep usb
