My USB2.0 cameras are enumerated fine on ehci systems. But not on my new Ubuntu 12.10: $uname -a Linux VAIO 3.5.0-18-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 19 10:26:51 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux here xhci_hcd is compiled in the kernel, and the device is not enumerated. I tried unbinding xhci using the sysfs and the messages dissapear, but ehci does not take over. Any idea?
