How do I use a 2.4ghz wireless (NOT wifi) with ZM?

I bought a First Alert 550 2.4ghz wireless usb camera. It has a 2.4ghz receiver that connects via usb.

lsusb reveals:

Code: Select all

Bus 006 Device 006: ID eb1a:2861 eMPIA Technology, Inc.
But, I can't seem to figure out how to communicate with it. When I do a diff between ls /dev before and after I plug it in, I can see where it creates /dev/audio1, /dev/dsp1, and /dev/mixer1 which it should since it has a built in mic. The only other differences are that these come up when plugged in:

Code: Select all

usbdev6.4_ep00
usbdev6.4_ep81
usbdev6.4_ep82
usbdev6.4_ep83
usbdev6.4_ep84
But zm will not communicate to the camera through any of them. I'm assuming this is a driver problem but have no clue how to get it to work. I see that there is a module for eMPIA Technology, Inc that's called em28xx so I modprobe that but still get nothing. Help anyone?

Thanks!

A quick google with results of lspci show that drivers for the chipset have been started in bttv but there seems to be no support for that camera yet.
