This camera was a surprise...I bought it at a PC swap in 1996 for $30, and it was a decent camera to my surprise back then. Interestingly it works ok on with the Asus router. The router detects it as so:
Feb 5 12:30:24 USB webcam: attached
Feb 5 12:30:25 kernel: usb.c: registered new driver ov51x
Feb 5 12:30:25 kernel: ov51x.c: USB OV511 video device found

See this page:

"
Q: I tried using my OV518/OV518+ camera, but I only get colorful garbage in the top 1/8 of the window.
A: Make sure you aren't using the "dumppix=1" parameter (that is only needed for the "d518" program)."
