Hi Gordy 
Although there are ways and means of getting the the card working it is
a bit of a tricky situation.
If you are running FC1 you are in a spot because you will probably have
to add v4l (video 4 linux), I found it very difficult and expensive when
you use a modem connection.

Here are some links to check out.
