I suppose it was more or less supported by the PWC driver, which might or 
might not be in the next stable kernel - there is a bit of a discussion 
going on at the moment between the kernel developers, the maintainer, and 
a rather large group of people like me who use this driver.

Note that I have not tried this webcam, and buying webcams for linux is 
usually a bit of a gamble still (sadly enough). Different chips might be 
used in products with the same name, making it hard to identify the device 
before you plug it in.

Some pointers:
