To avoid misunderstandings, the patch I sent is not just printing the
USB vendor ID and product ID but also really enables the pac7302 gspca
subdriver to actually work with the newly added USB IDs.

This is also a possible way to go, the important thing is that a kernel
module has to be built and the previous version of gspca_pac7302 kernel
module has to be replaced with the newly built one.
