There's no point in trying ndiswrapper for anything but network card drivers. "NDIS" stands for "Network Driver Interface Specification". I highly doubt your webcam's Windows driver was written to the NDIS spec, and I highly doubt you'd want it seen as a network interface by the Linux kernel.

Ndiswrapper is not some magic wrapper for all drivers!
