Just for clarity and the archives, adding the option forceblock=1 via
creating a file under /etc/modprobe.d (which I called webcam) with the

allows this webcam to work with Skype (at least the Test button in
Options, Video Devices, haven't actually made a call with it yet).

How does one figure out which driver a webcam requires, or even if there is

should work, but 10.2's modprobe can't find it. :-(
