installing webcam on new laptop

my new laptop sager n2092 comes with a webcam that is listed as:
"Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b018 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd" in lsusb, and I read all the wiki pages about getting your webcam working in linux, but have not had luck with this one.

Does anyone have the same model and have it working? It is the built in camera that comes with the laptop and is mounted above the monitor.
