Here is partial output:

Aug  8 10:01:50 Mycroft kernel: [33074.152000] usb 4-3: new high speed 
USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
Aug  8 10:01:51 Mycroft kernel: [33074.536000] usb 4-3: configuration #1 
chosen from 1 choice
Aug  8 10:01:51 Mycroft kernel: [33074.536000] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 
device <unnamed> (046d:09c1)

This looks like I need a UVC Driver, yes?

The cam is also listed on the uvc page you sited, so that seems a 
definitive answer.  Thanks for your help

Camorama.  Should that work?  Even if not, I know the cam is not 
functional because the LED does not light.
