I'm closing this bug.

According to the Linux Driver Project (as I said in the original report) this
web cam is supported by an out of tree driver:
http://www.linuxdriverproject.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/OutOfTreeDrivers#Video_Input

The driver is UVC:
http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/

There seems to be a real interest in pushing this upstream but there are some
issues with V4L2 keeping the driver from hitting mainline:
http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/linux-uvc-devel/2007-August/001930.html

So I think it is not really useful to keep this bug open, it is best to wait
until the issues are resolved and Fedora can get the driver directly from upstream.
