I see that you also posted this question in the linuxquestions.org forum and got a pretty good answer there. I shall repeat it here as well and thanks to marco18 for the help.

Issue the following terminal command:

su -
password:
lsusb

I would copy and past this information back into a message here. Next, it was suggested you visit the following site to see if more information is listed there on the exact model.

Linux UVC driver & tools

Thank You,

When you run the terminal command lsusb as root, what does the output look like? Do you want to post a copy of the text so we can look at it as well?

Thank You,

So I don’t see anything useful, in fact, except for an unknown entry showing “Bus 003 Device 002: ID 18ec:318”, it does not look like you have ANY USB devices at all plugged into your system. Is that correct?

Thank You,
