Please avoid giving personal details on a public list. It is viewed directly on the internet. As mentioned by JTD and others please do your homework instead of simply changing distros. Sometimes support for hardware has to be added manually. Have a look at this link below, read it properly, find out if the cam has the same chipset and if so, follow the installation instructions. Please read the entire doc and its links before doing anything else.
