You want to make sure the USB modules compiled and it's seeing your USB 
bus -- "dmesg | grep usb" should show a bunch of stuff. Also make sure 
the videodev kernel module is there, but since you said you use v4l for 
other things that's probably fine.

From the looks of your errors I would say you don't have the USB stuff 
loaded, but the whole non-GPL module thing has always been mysterious to 
me, so there may be more to it.
