@loonatic: could not get my webcam (046d:08da) to work with your patch - but the quickcam-1.8 sources worked ok with the Hardy kernel.
However, after a while I found out that the Intrepid kernel actually supports the 046d:08da webcam, but the apps I was using for testing need fixing as stated in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libv4l/+bug/260918
with the LD_PRELOAD trick from bug #260918, my quickcam messenger works perfectly.
