I've gotten the old version of "
http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Live-Cam-Notebook-Pro/dp/B000IZ79EC Creative
Live Cam Notebook Pro " to work with the gumstix, using the 
http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html spca driver  This particular version is
out of production now so you might be able to pick some up for fairly cheap. 
There was a 70% off fire sale on the model @ Creative's website but I think
they are sold out now.

There is also the "
http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Live!+cam+Notebook&oe=utf-8&cid=6245191644029343591#ps-sellers
Creative Live Cam Notebook " This camera is a newer model you can get it for
between 25 - 30 bucks It has a Linux driver as well I've gotten it to work
on my desktop using 
http://www.rastageeks.org/ov51x-jpeg/index.php/Ov51xJpegHackedSource this
driver  but haven't tried compiling the driver on the gumstix yet.  My
instinct is that it would work fine.
