The Microsoft VX-2000 (the one we've had at Intrex for like 8 years) works 
with v4l2, and a quick google search seems to indicate v4l2 support in 
openwrt...

That aside, it's a shitty camera.

Here's a list of of UVC cameras:

I generally like logitech products, but I don't have much first-hand experience 
with them.
