I must correct myself. It used to be pwc module that handled the logitech cams but according to http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/ it is now handled by uvc.
I checked http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ and the cam is listed as supported by uvc driver: 046d:08c2 Logitech Quickcam Orbit MP Logitech Quick check after reboot shows that uvc is loaded on boot.
