hmm...  looks like you're right.  I opened up my webcam and took the
sticker off the chip.  This is what it says:

C O N E X A N T
CN0352P
11226-11
B88747.3
9946     MEXICO

Looking at the usb vendor id database, I find that 0x0572 is licensed to
Conexant Systems, Inc.  So currently, there is no driver for this chip
in Linux?  Anyone have ideas about this or where to look?  Or if there
is no driver, where to look for specs on this chip so I can write one?
