A quick scan through the Linux-USB site reveals this page:

http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/search_res.php?pattern=0733&submit=Search
%21

Smack in the middle is the 0733:0401 Intel CS330 webcam entry and it
shows it as working with the spca50x driver. Here's a link to the
page:

That's why I was hopeful that it would work. However, it doesn't show
up, for example, in gphoto2 --list-cameras, nor on other programs that
allow me to select a supported device.

I'm sure I may be missing something, but since I'm too new, and don't
really know how to compile the driver source with FC6, I can't get any
further.

BTW, the link you provided shows the latest source version from 2003
(though it was a bit later than the one I found earlier).
