Comment 47 for bug 144745

I have little comprehension of the preceeding discussion. Perhaps someone could summarise the issues met and their solutions?

Selfishly, could someone tell me why on Karmic I cannot access my Z-Star Microelectronics Corp. ZC0301 Webcam?

Essential bits of info (I think):
