i think i mis-read this message.. if the cam worked in 10.04, and not in 12.04, its likely something that *can* be supported in 12.04. i would just use 10.04 if all is working well... "if it aint broke" as they say... the kernel can become bloated if drivers are kept in it, and the support for your device could have been removed. you can always try different kernels, or build your own with support for your device, or add support to the current kernel. i *always* suggest trying the live CD's before installing to get an idea of hardware support.
