There are actually only a handful of actual manufacturers of webcam CCD
and Interface boards, any USB Webcam will adhere to the USB video device
class and will essentially be supported by the Linux kernel
When you buy a branded webcam, it's more likely that the only thing they
actually manufactured was the plastic case, and the logo (although some
even outsource that work as well), everything else was probably sourced
via the Asian grey market for electronic components and interface boards.
