Can you confirm 'make install' put uvcvideo.ko in 
/lib/modules/2.6.18-6-k7/ somewhere?  The following is from my kubuntu 
system:

$ locate uvc
/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-server/ubuntu/media/usbvideo/uvcvideo.ko

$ sudo modprobe uvcvideo

$ lsmod | grep uvc
uvcvideo               58116  0
compat_ioctl32          2304  1 uvcvideo
videodev               29312  1 uvcvideo
v4l1_compat            15492  2 uvcvideo,videodev
v4l2_common            18304  2 uvcvideo,videodev
usbcore               146028  7 
uvcvideo,usb_storage,libusual,usbhid,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd

$ dmesg
