Ok here is my situation : I successfully use a Quickcam pro 3000 using driver "pwc" i realized soon that the camera works but i am not able to get to the maximum resolution and everything was not quite allright... So i did some searching and found this: http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/ there i downloaded the "pwcx" module (8.1 here) and just copyed it into my /lib/modules/mykerneldrivers/usb/ and loaded it with "insmod -f pwcx-i386" (note it wont work using modprobe you need to force the module you will get unresolved symbols everytime you run a "depmod -a" but it will work anyway with "insmod -f"). Now im happy running it well with good colours and all resolutions and framerates supported by the cam. I have never tryed the quickcam stuff cause this method was not elegant but the result was what i wanted from it, it works fine with v4l too.
