More or less the same results on my Gentoo laptop. I'm here now:
1) No changes in modules loaded
2) No /dev/v4l directory
3) Strange dmesg results:
usb 5-2: new high speed USB device using address 3
usb usb4: string descriptor 0 read error: -113
usb usb4: string descriptor 0 read error: -113
usb usb4: string descriptor 0 read error: -113
usb usb2: string descriptor 0 read error: -113
usb usb2: string descriptor 0 read error: -113
usb usb2: string descriptor 0 read error: -113
...
I didn't look at dmesg before I plugged it in so maybe these were here
earlier. I don't know. The device is visible in usbview:

Doesn't look very good. (!!) ;-)

I'll do an emerge sync and make sure nothing is way out of date.
I'm not sure what I should be looking for in my kernel's .config file:
flash linux # cat .config | grep VIDEO
CONFIG_IEEE1394_VIDEO1394=m
CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m
# CONFIG_VIDEO_BT848 is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_PMS is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_BWQCAM is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_CQCAM is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_W9966 is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_CPIA is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA5246A is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA5249 is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_STRADIS is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_ZORAN is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_SAA7134 is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_MXB is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_DPC is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_HEXIUM_ORION is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_HEXIUM_GEMINI is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_CX88 is not set
# CONFIG_VIDEO_OVCAMCHIP is not set
CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y
flash linux # cat .config | grep V4
flash linux #
Thanks much,
