The problem is you have a Logitech QuickCam Orbit MP or PTZ as it is refered to on the pwc page. I am in the same boat. Refer to the product id of 0x08c2.

This has a different idcode and chipset then the older QuickCam Sphere which looks exactly the same from what I have seen.

I've just find Luc's web site and read the documentation provided.
I read the recent archives too, but now, I'm lost.
I downloaded the latest version of the driver, and followed the
instructions given on Luc's and Kenneth's web sites.

First I downloaded the latest kernel source, then rebuilt it.
Once done, I downloaded the latest pwc source module, and followed the
instructions.
Now, the /var/log/messages contains the following lines, so it seems ok,

but the webcam is desesperated off. It is well plugged, but the cam is
off as the led is always off. (and it works fine under windows ;-( so
this doesn't come from it).
all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Francois

I have a Logitech Sphere and it works great with pwc 10.0.9.

How did you connect it? Do you use a USB hub? Does the camera fight for
resources with other USB devices?

No, that's the only usb device I have.

I can send you the result of the command "lsusb -v". It's too long to post
it there I guess. But it seems the logitech is well seen, this is a small
part of the output :
