Re: Problem runnning webcam on a sheevaplug with using pwc

[Raul Fajardo <rfajardo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Yves,

this is a bug related to the hotplug system or something.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/443278

The driver works in two cases:
1) the camera was connected on power up.
2) you remove the module rmmod pwc, connect the camera and let the hotplug
system load the module

I suppose that's your problem.

Best regards,
Raul
