That webcam is not an other webcam, its one of the cams I'm testing with myself and it should work fine, if you want to test it yourself, install the latest kernel from rawhide and install libv4l from rawhide. Then on the cmdline do: "export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so" (make that /usr/lib64 for 64 bit systems) and from the same terminal run a webcam application like ekiga or cheese, your cam now should work.

New webcam
Even using the compat trick mentioned previously, I couldn't get this camera to work:
