On the bright side, that means more people should have the hardware to 
test it on (including me :-).

I've certainly used the camera enable/disable at some point.  But I 
could have missed the error message, and frankly I don't use the camera 
or cardreader very often.  I'll have a bash at it tomorrow.

Sitsofe says it reproduced on kernel.org 2.6.21 (presumably with an 
out-of-tree eeepc module).  So I guess this isn't a simple git-bisect 
job - more thinking required...

Thanks
