01:00:37 kernel: ov511_decomp.c: v1.6 : OV511 Decompression Module

I've just purchased it, so I think it should be a new revision.

I don't understand why it chooses OV511 decompression despite it's an OV518+?
Why doesn't is use the OV518 decompression (included in Oleg's firmware)?

Image is totally unrecognizable "undecoded noise" . I assume it's caused by choosing wrong decompression routine.

Any idea?

I suppose your webcam will never work with ASUS router. In fact, there are two very different cams, named Logitech QC Orbit/Sphere and looking very similar (only internal plate differ). Old one, worked over Philips proprietary protocol and supported by pwc[x].o driver, and new one, working over open UVC protocol. UVC support in Linux is a new thing and seems it will not work for old 2.4 kernels. Look here for more details:
http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/

When writing about Philips and Logitech webcams, please, give their P/N and/or USB VID/PID.

It is really hard to find recent cam, that is supported by this old 2.4 kernel. If anybody knows - write here, please.
