It is.  Once your webcam is recognised the v4l packages will create video0.  I 
do wonder, though, whether you are trying to load the correct driver.  I say 
this because it's far from unknown for a model to change chipset part way 
through its life.  Have you tried a fair bit of googling, to see if others 
are using the gspcav driver and/or another one?
