There is a syntek kernel module out there (on sourceforge), which now works for me (just like it had worked on the same hardware, with Ubuntu, a couple of years ago). Googling, one can find many users who have based their solution on this code. Below were my steps (exhaustive list, rather simple).

[Bug 757040] Re: stk11xx web-cam driver should be included in the kernel
Nikola Borisof, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. In order to include this driver in Ubuntu, we would need the code merged into the upstream kernel first. It would be nice if somebody could send the merge request by following the instructions at http://kernelnewbies.org/UpstreamMerge . If you have done so, please provide the link so we may track the progress.

[Bug 757040] Re: stk11xx web-cam driver should be included in the kernel
It seems something is screwed up with the bot asking for log files here (Brad Figg). There is no point in providing log files. This bug is about a driver missing from Ubuntu required for a chip for a USB streaming camera. Someone should create a DKMS package out of the source from the repository mentioned above and add it to Debian/Ubuntu. Then users with this type of camera can install this package & have their camera work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/757040 Title: stk11xx web-cam driver should be included in the kernel To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/757040/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
