Hm, I don't think this device is supported by Linux at this time, sorry.
It seems to be an OV519 camera. It is not supported by a vanilla Linux
kernel, but AFAIK there are third party drivers for it:
1. ov51x (http://alpha.dyndns.org/ov511/download.html#ov51x) by Mark
McClelland. IIRC it does not support V4L2 - only the old V4L API - and you
need applications that can use JPEG frames. The missing V4L2 support can
be a problem in two months or so - since V4L1 is scheduled for removal on
the driver/kernel side of things.
2. ov51x-jpeg (http://www.rastageeks.org/ov51x-jpeg/index.php/Main_Page)
which is a patched version of the above driver with an in-kernel JPEG
decoder. The kernel people will probably - and rightfully - burn me alive
for mentioning this here... JPEG decoding in kernel space (shudders!)...
It has the same V4L2 problem with (1).
I am using (2), because none of my applications support JPEG. It works
reliably (read: it does not crash the machine), but the image quality is
not very good. Probably the result of trying to do integer-only JPEG
decoding. I don't know what's gonna happen once V4L1 support is removed in
June though...
