From what I can see, your webcam is NOT supported by the nominal gspca, and to get it to work you will likely need to patch the source code, and then do a custom compile (meaning you need kernel-source, gcc, gcc++, etc ... in place first). I obtained that assessment from reading these threads:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeWebCams
QuickCam E2500

This sort of patch and a custom compilation will be very challenging, but its the best possibility that I have read of getting this to work.

Good luck!
