Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
Affected system: Ubuntu 9.10, AMD64, linux 2.6.31-15-generic
I have recently purchased a web camera branded as "TURBO-X TouchCam WC9070":
TURBO-X is a local greek brand provided by PLAISIO stores chain but I found out by looking at the provided cd with drivers for windows and lsusb output that it is a ipassion iP2937 camera.
The camera provides an embeded microphone too that is properly recognized and functioning under ubuntu 9.10. But the device fails to be recognized as a webcam. I attach lsusb -v output about the device.

Description of problem:
My webcam is not recognized by Fedora 10. It is a USB connected lamp with a built-in camera and microphone and a 4-port USB hub. Unfortunately I do not know the manufacturer, but when I plug it in, I see this output in /var/log/messages

I'm assuming the vendor/product string for the webcam is 1b3b:2937. Searching Google for that string returns a link to a Spanish Ubuntu forum at http:// www.ubuntu- es.org/ index.php? q=node/ 108876 which refers to a "MSI StarCam mini".
I have the following relevant software: 2.6.27. 19-170. 2.35.fc10. i686 0.1.12- 20.fc10. i386 0.5.8-1. fc10.i386
