I've been happily using Arch on a scarred (but tough) E6410 laptop for over a year. Tonight, I finally had reason to use the webcam: and cannot find it. Google Meet and Zoom cannot see it, Cheese says I haven't one, and neither 'lspci' nor 'lsusb' list anything that even looks like a webcam. The brief output of "lspci" is...

I've never had to find details on a device that lspci and lsusb didn't give me, so there may be another command of which I am unaware...but which would show details on that built-in webcam.
Digging for 30 min on Google found a _replacement_ webcam...
> Eathtek Replacement Webcam Camera Module for
> DELL Latitude E6410 E5410 6YWTK CN-06YWTK
It claims to be a drop-in replacement for the built-in webcam but I don't know whether it was the _original_ OEM webcam.
I suspect that I'll be able to carry on well: once I can figure out how to get hardware-level details on the built-in webcam. Per prior experience with similar issues, where lspci did show details, that should let me find the kernel module that will get it going and usable.
Thank you very much for your help.
