We really need to see the USB ID number on the camera.  Plug it in and
do an "lsusb" as the root user.  Send us the USB ID number.  A good page
to look at regarding Logitech webcams is:

Note that if the ID is 046d:08b2, then pwc is the right driver, but it
is limited.  There's a newer version of it out there available at
