According to this site [1] all I have to do is update my kernel to
above 2.6.24 or above and these drivers should be there. Is there a
quick way to do this?

As for the webcam, I didn't notice that I can switch off the wee
thing, and this was off when I ran those commands. I will try again
with it switched on.
