What I see is nothing to indicate that the driver is loaded.  This
could be either of the previous issues I mentioned.  If someone will
tell you what module that camera requires, perhaps you can manually
load it and find out what's wrong.  You can check the validity of
hotplug and your kernel.  RPM's:   rpm -V <package>
