In general, nowhere :-). But if the webcam says it supports
the new UVC (USB video class) standard, the odds are good
that it will work with the uvc driver now included as
part of fedora (sometimes you can't find anything in the
docs that mention UVC specifically, but it will say something
about Mac OS-X support, and I believe OS-X uses UVC for
webcams).

The "designed for Window$ Vi$ta" logo is also a good indicator, M$ made UVC
a requirement for that. (That said, there are dishonest manufacturers using
that logo without fulfilling the requirements and M$ doesn't seem to really
enforce it.)

For older webcam that doesn't support UVC, you may be lucky and can get the 
driver here:
