Have a look at http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/faq/ USB devices report a class identifier in their descriptors. If the class ID is equal to 255 (Vendor Class), the device has a non-standard interface and implements a vendor-specific protocol. If the class ID is equal to one of the values defined by the USB Implementers Forum, the device implements a standard, documented protocol. The UVC class ID is 14. If your webcam reports another class ID, it might still implement the UVC interface (early Logitech UVC webcams did so) but that's very unlikely. There is no way to tell which driver to use when the class ID is 255. Your best bet would then be to Google for the device VID/PID.
