if you use a logitech camera, you'll likely have to build the drivers from the gspca-source package using module-assistant. logitech seems to change things pretty often, so if the etch drivers don't work, you can get the tarball from upstream and replace the source files in the gspca-source package with the ones from upstream. m-a will then build it just fine using the new source files and you'll have the latest version of the drivers. hth.
