Did modprobe sn9c102 but there is no /dev/video device on my system.
What driver do I have to install to get the video device?

I just figured out how to get the webcam working. Apparentely, the driver sn9c102
that comes with the kernel is not the right one. I had to install the uvcvideo:
1) go to
http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html and download uvcvideo-52.tar.gz
2) untar, make and make install
3) modprobe uvcvideo
That's it. Even after reboot it will work. Since the correct module is in place,
the system will find it and load it automatically. Here's what in dmesg now:
usb 5-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2

To compile the module you will need to have the kernel source installed...
and it MUST match the in-use kernel.
You can see that your webcam is working buy noticing that now
there is a device /dev/video0 and by use of videoview:

Just download it and run. You will be able to grab videos and images
from the camera.
Now I am only missing the mic....
