Trust WB-1400T webcam on Ubuntu
Download the source here.
Now open a root terminal and create the folder:
mkdir -p /usr/src/modules
Move the package to the new folder and move into it:
mv <gspcav1_package> /usr/src/modules
cd /usr/src/modules
Extract and move into it:
tar -xzvf <gspcav1_package>
cd <gspcav1_folder>
Compile and install:
make && make install
Remove eventually previous version of the module and load the new one:
modprobe -r gspca && modprobe gspca
Plug-in the webcam, and you should see something in dmesg.
Now you can just test with
mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l:width=352:height=288:device=/dev/video0
or using programs like xawtv, camorama, amsn or skype. Have fun

Actually, this is a rare problem and with the current kernel (2.6.28) everything works out of the box
