The situation on Linux is particularly dire. An official bug report from Ubuntu (bug #528843) confirms that the Traveler SU 1071 (iPassion iP2936) is by the Linux kernel. Attempts to use standard webcam applications like guvcview, Skype, or Cheese result in a "Device not found" error. The device appears in the lsusb list with the ID 1b3b:2936 , but no usable driver is loaded. As of late 2010, the kernel driver cpia2 did not have support for those USB IDs. While a more modern kernel might have added support, there is no guarantee. Your best bet on Linux is to use a Virtual Machine running Windows.
