Hi,

I just upgraded to karmic the other week and now my webcam isn't working anymore.

here is my dmesg output
[ 1369.080502] pwc: Philips webcam module version 10.0.13 loaded.
[ 1369.080505] pwc: Supports Philips PCA645/646, PCVC675/680/690, PCVC720[40]/730/740/750 & PCVC830/840.

[ 1396.679734] pwc: isoc_init() submit_urb 1 failed with error -28

the last two lines are added whenever I try to run mplayer or skype on the webcam.

We are currently using uname -r: 2.6.31-19-generic (64 bit), but the problem was the same on 2.6.31-17-generic

any ideas?
