About 6 months ago, I went out and bought a (cheap, like $15 new) webcam
that works under linux. I got the D-Link DSB-C100 (USB), which uses the
OV511 chip. Kernel Modules can be downloaded from the link below. It
worked okay for me, I guess what I'd expect for such a cheap price, until
I dropped it. Now half of the "picture" is blurred out.

Theres a list of supported OV511-based cameras there, too.
