Here's what I get before the driver registers the camera:

# ls -al /sys/class/video4linux/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 0 2009-01-06 17:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 37 root root 0 2009-01-06 15:08 ..

And here's what I get after:

# ls -al /sys/class/video4linux/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 0 2009-01-06 17:39 .
drwxr-xr-x 37 root root 0 2009-01-06 15:08 ..
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0 2009-01-06 17:41 
video0 -> 
../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1e.0/0000:02:09.0/0000:03:00.2/usb5/5-1/5-1:1.0/video4linux/video0

/class/input/input2 is an input device to report button press events. That 
won't help you for video streaming :-)
