    Here is locate again:
karl at karl-desktop:~$ locate gspca.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ubuntu/media/gspcav1/gspca.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/media/gspca.ko
/home/karl/work/gspcav1-20071214/.gspca.ko.cmd
/home/karl/work/gspcav1-20071214/gspca.ko

I did a # modprobe gspca which was successful it appears. It shows up at 
the top like this:

root at karl-desktop:~# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
gspca                 608336  0
videodev               29312  1 gspca
v4l2_common            18432  1 videodev
v4l1_compat            15364  1 videodev

So I need to make sure gspca is loaded automatically. I think it is 
/etc/modeprobe.conf but not certain on Debian.
