Comment 15 for bug 255678

I have a similar problem with a Logitech ClickSmart 310 camera, supported by gspca (spca500), which used to work without problems in Hardy. Here is the dmesg output when plugging it in:

[ 99.612061] usb 5-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[ 99.805082] usb 5-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
[ 100.199693] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[ 100.221425] gspca: main v2.2.0 registered
[ 100.248271] gspca: probing 046d:0900
[ 100.266417] gspca: probe ok

[ 100.271448] spca500: registered
[ 100.446131] gspca: disconnect complete

No /dev/video is created, and hence no application finds the camera. The camera is found by lsusb:

Bus 005 Device 003: ID 046d:0900 Logitech, Inc. ClickSmart 310

I installed the libv4l packages as per bug 260918, but I don't think that's relevant because the error is at the point of mounting the camera. Any progress on the issue? Any workarounds? (Again, the camera worked without problems in Hardy, I don't know what caused the regression and there are no workarounds that I know of yet).
