I messed around a little with that webcam today and got it to work
with  linux-uvc 0.1.0_pre173 (version from gentoo portage).
It works with luvcview when I select YUV format.
When I try default (MJPEG afaik) it gives:
Unable to set format: 22
 Init v4L2 failed !! exit fatal

With YUV it works satisfactory for video (selfadjusting to light
conditions etc.). I haven't tried to use audio.
2 of them together saturate somehow 1 USB2.0 hub. I'll look into that
in a few days. Maybe I overlooked something :)
