Problem with GSPCA webcam driver since last kernelupdate.

#1

Last week I got a newer kernel via Yast -> Online Update.
Since then, my Logitech webcam does not work anymore.
Neither with Skype or Kopete.
After starting skype, the output of dmesg is:

gspca: bandwidth not wide enough - trying again
ohci_hcd 0000:00:12.0: leak ed f44e30c0 (#81) state 2

When I unplug the webcam and plug it into another USB-port and start skype again,
it works most of the time. Sometimes I have to repeat this several times.
Wen it works, the output of dmesg is:

usb 7-4: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2
usb 7-4: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=092f
usb 7-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
usb 7-4: Product: Camera
usb 7-4: Manufacturer:
gspca: probing 046d:092f
gspca: video0 created

Output of uname is:

Linux 2.6.34.7-0.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-09-14 14:21:06 +0200 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

Your cam is on the list of supported devices: http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html and should (still) work. Personally, I would run a diff between the driver sources of the old and the new kernel to see what changes were made and - eventually - file a bug report.
