Sorry for the ridiculously late reply but I lost track of this thread 
about 2 years ago. Now someone contacted me and tested a few patches up 
to the point where we got it working again.

I no longer have the webcam to test, but I tried it earlier this year 
and always got stuck in an error where capturing stops at the 15th 
frame. Apparently it's because it should use V4L2_PIX_FMT_JPEG instead 
of V4L2_PIX_FMT_MJPEG. But I also remember I got it working 2 years ago 
with V4L2_PIX_FMT_MJPEG, so I don't know if something changed in the 
kernel or it's a regression there or these cameras just plain suck... 
Does anyone else have a camera to test this?

Here's an updated patch. I can't test it myself but I can relay the 
patch to the tester.
