Logitech Quickcam Express USB Address Aquisition Issues

[Pre Note: please CC me all responses, thanks]

Currently, I have a Logitech Quickcam Express webcamera.  Unfortunately, it seems to have issues getting assigned an address.  I quote the following from dmesg:

usb 1-1.1: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 11
usb 1-1.1: device descriptor read/64, error -32
usb 1-1.1: device descriptor read/64, error -32
usb 1-1.1: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12
usb 1-1.1: device descriptor read/64, error -32
usb 1-1.1: device descriptor read/64, error -32
usb 1-1.1: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 13
usb 1-1.1: device not accepting address 13, error -32
usb 1-1.1: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 14
usb 1-1.1: device not accepting address 14, error -32

As far as the host goes, I have the following USB hosts:

0000:00:11.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43)
0000:00:11.1 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43)
0000:00:11.2 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB 2.0 (rev 04)

The first is my builtin Intel USB controller, the second is one belkin USB 1.0 card, and another 2.0 card.  I've tried it in all three just to verify one of my hosts wasn't broken.  Considering my printer works with it, as well as my scanner, I'm sort of thinking that's not an issue.

I searched up google a bit and recieved some warnings about acpi causing problems, so I disabled that, but was still unsucessful in getting that to work.  Please let me know if any other information is required.  Thanks ahead of time.

Yes, I was just about to slap myself for fogetting that, it's under greg-kh's 2.6.12.13 git repository sources.

I haven't attempted that, but I'll probably give a 2.6.9/2.4 series kernel a shot later on tommorow night.

Which kernel version?

Did it work OK under a previous kernel version?  If so, which?

Does that thing work with Windows?

I strongly suspect that it's simply broken at this point.

It looks like one add-on USB 2.0 card with NEC chip which is backward 
compatible with USB 1.0. No Intel here.

does the drivers for the Phillips web cams come back to the kernel?
because i thought that it was taken out... 

http://www.smcc.demon.nl/webcam/

check this site and see if your cam was one of the cams that supported
from the driver that discontinue... so if is supported by this driver,
download and install it... it works i try it with my cam ;)

The in-kernel pwc driver doesn't work for me either. I highly recommend you 
try the above if this turns out to not be a hardware fault.

Sorry, I didn't even check the link. Try the driver from:

http://www.saillard.org/linux/pwc/

Which seems to work better.

   Because many of the Logitech cameras are based on the Philips
chipset.

And that is the final answer for $14,000.  Looks like I got Yet Another 
Large Paperweight(tm) to deal with.  Yup, this thing is broken.  I tried
it on my dad's machine today, and Windows chucked the thing out as invalid
format right away.  Oh well, maybe I should enroll in an electronics class
and fix it myself.

what happens with the most of the computer peripherals the company that
sell it is different with the company that produce it... in this case
philips sell the ship for the cameras to other companies and logitech
use that chip. in the website say which cameras are based to the philips
chip
