Recently I'm trying to make work a Sunplus crappy mini HD USB camera, lsusb

Using the gspca-2.13.6 on my Fed12 (2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686.PAE kernel), the
device is listed as /dev/video1 and no error doing a dmesg...but trying to
make it work, let say with xawtv, I get:

Hi Mauricio,
The problem seems tied to the alternate setting. It must be the #3
while the lastest versions of gspca compute a "best" one. May you apply
the following patch to gspca-2.13.6?
Thanks Jean, yeap I apply the patch, but still the same kind of messages
about timeout sing xawtv or svv:
xawtv:

svv:

this camera in mass storage mode works ok...
Cheers
Mauricio

(Theodore, this webcam may work in mass storage mode with ID 04fc:0171.
In webcam mode with ID 04fc:1528, it offers 3 interfaces: interface 0
contains only an interrupt endpoint, interface 1 is the webcam with
only isochronous endpoints and interface 2 contains bulk in, bulk out
and interrupt in endpoints - I don't know how to use the interfaces 0
and 2, but sure the interface 2 could be used to access the camera
images)
