Please do the following (as root):
echo 63 > /sys/module/gspca_main/parameters/debug

Then unplug your camera, re plug it, and then do
dmesg > plug.log

Try to use it and then do:
dmesg > stream.log

Then send another mail with plug.log and stream.log
attached. Please CC me on that mail (I'm not sure of
the list will allow the attachments).
