I'm not sure which kernel you're using, but the stock kernel for FC2
does not have USB_PWC enabled. Which among other things has support for
the Logitech Zoom. If you're running an older kernel, it may be loading
a different module. I'm not sure when the kernel folks at Redhat enabled
it in the config, but it's enabled as a module for 2.6.6-1.435. If you
roll your own kernels the module is under USB support -> USB Phillips
Cameras.  Hope this helps.
