Following the instructions at the ubuntuforums thread reported by Gary I updated the usb ids on my system with the command
sudo /usr/sbin/update-usbids.sh
Now the device is reported as "ID 1b3b:2937 iPassion Technology Inc. PC Camera/Webcam controller" from lsusb. I am going to try to also test the patch proposed at the forum thread and report here the results.
