I don't think this is a kernel issue. gspca is not allowed to go into kernel 
because of the "in-kernel-jpeg-decoding", ask Linus about this!

The maintainer of Ubuntu did include gspca into their distribution because you 
get a lot of webcams working! And that's what the people want!

Start your PC and plug in what you want and when it works it's a good OS!!!!!!

Got the point??
