What model is your webcam ? (manufacturer name and lspci output)

Did it work with the Live CD ? Boot from the Live CD and while under the Live CD, install Cheese (simple Gnome webcam application). That should tell you if a clean install works better than the upgrade.

If no bug has been filed for this, please file one in Launchpad giving your webcam info and experiences.
