> Camera information, and possibly a link to a picture of the camera itself

I threw out the box a long time ago... The actual webcam is

although the color is grey, not blue.

> Which driver attaches (or not)

see above

> does the video output work ?

yes, also eikga finds the webcam automatically. Although, there are lots of scary messages output.
