Just discovered that actually my webcam is recognized as a usb device. The webcam of my eeePc is a Genesys Logic 05e3:0505 device. My research showed that this webcam supports uvc and was well working with older kernels. However, several people with the same webcam complained in forums about malfunction. The MSI Wind uses the same webcam, here is another bug listed on launchpad concerning the same device: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/763977
