HP Webcam Bus 007 Device 003: ID 04f2:b016 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd

I am attempting to get the internal usb webcam that shipped with this hp pavilion dv2600 working.

I will be collecting information and posting it here for others to make of it what they can, and with luck perhaps we can eventually mark this thread as solved.

The camera shows up using lsusb as:
