No installation technique seems to work on Feisty Fawn 7.04
on a 64-bit
Dell Dimension 9200.

I can tell my camera is the first hardware version of the Logitech QuickCam Fusion because
http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html
lists the device code as
0x046d 0x08c1
and that's the code reported by dmesg, included below.

This page doesn't even include the Fusion:

Does anybody forsee a path to a foolproof installation?
This webcam is so common Ubuntu should support it out of the box (some kind of full-auto install, even if it must download something).
