I just tried 2.6.27-1.2 and it did not work either. Previous versions of the 2.6.27 package did not contain this driver, at least according to changelog. So the last working release would be the last 2.6.26 package.

When I tried compiling a version from 2.6.26 in 2.6.27 it gave the following error:
/home/sebastian/Desktop/ubuntu-intrepid/qc-driver.c:3001: error: unknown field ‘type’ specified in initializer
The code in the according line is:
 type: VID_TYPE_CAPTURE | VID_TYPE_SUBCAPTURE,

Later versions of the driver have that line removed (probably because of changes in v4l), but it seems that at least gstreamer and ekiga depend on it. So I guess it is more a general v4l problem than a driver specific one.
