What does not work? In other words, what software is failing? What software/drivers have you been trying? Are you using stock kernels in those Mandrivas? Have you tried a bootable distro and/or gotten the webcam to work on any other system? I had no problems with a usb webcam years ago; I used "motion" as well as various bttv-driven stuff for manual viewing & recording.
