Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0100:0010  
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

It doesn't appear to even be mounting. Here is what I have on the camera:

The unit: Micron YJEYE01-130 with an MT9M001 chip.

The source: Light Livestock Equipment-Camera

The chip specs: Here or here.

I tried gspca module loading to no avail.

googling it appears that this camera uses video4linux and mentions needing a patch.
Have you tried latest video4linux in repositories?

it also appears to be kernel related,while I don't know the answer these should help

patch reference here

Thank you for the great leads and your time and effort. I'll have to do some homework to learn how to install a patch. This is the same track I was on and I appreciate the conformation.
