Hi, Some recent netbooks (Some MSI winds and LG X110's) equipped with an integrated webcam have non-working USB ports unless the uvcvideo module is blacklisted. I've found some bug reports in launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/435352 I have an LG X110 on which I can reproduce the problem with 2.6.30.8. Here's the interesting part in dmesg: Oct 13 08:46:32 x110 kernel: [ 261.048312] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device BisonCam, NB Pro (5986:0203) Oct 13 08:46:32 x110 kernel: [ 261.053592] input: BisonCam, NB Pro as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-5/1-5:1.0/input/input10 Oct 13 08:46:32 x110 kernel: [ 261.053891] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo Oct 13 08:46:32 x110 kernel: [ 261.054755] USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0) Oct 13 08:46:32 x110 kernel: [ 261.091014] ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: force halt; handhake f807c024 00004000 00000000 -> -110 Oct 13 08:46:33 x110 kernel: [ 261.742335] hub 1-0:1.0: cannot reset port 6 (err = -108) Oct 13 08:46:33 x110 kernel: [ 261.742360] hub 1-0:1.0: cannot reset port 6 (err = -108) Oct 13 08:46:33 x110 kernel: [ 261.742381] hub 1-0:1.0: cannot reset port 6 (err = -108) Oct 13 08:46:33 x110 kernel: [ 261.742400] hub 1-0:1.0: cannot reset port 6 (err = -108) Oct 13 08:46:33 x110 kernel: [ 261.742419] hub 1-0:1.0: cannot reset port 6 (err = -108) Oct 13 08:46:33 x110 kernel: [ 261.742433] hub 1-0:1.0: Cannot enable port 6.
