ov519 webcam not loading modules/dev in Gentoo

I have been given a DSE XH5096 Internet Camera + Microphone.
Camera specs:
DSE XH5096 Internet Camera + Microphone
OmniVision Ov519 chipset
USB 1.1
24bit/16.7M colours/RGB
My problem is that while it is found and recognised by the system as a
device, the required modules are not being loaded in by Udev/Hotplug.
As you can see below, the device is present, it just doesn't load the
module/s or create the device, I assume /dev/video1.
I know that v4l and other required kernel bit are there as I have a
working TV card on video0 and radio0.
When I modprobe ov511 and ovcamchip they install but do nothing except
show up under lsmod without any tie-ins.
I have tried it with the drivers hard wired into the kernel, but with
the same sad results.
My distro is Gentoo

Errata: Spelling mistakes are not intentional, except that I don't use
spell checkers. It's too easy to allow the spell checker to make the
decisions and use words that are out of context for that being written
(i.e. their/there, your/you're, threw/through and even accept/except),
not to mention foreign (I'm Australian) English spelling (i.e.
colour/color, socks/sox, etc).
