Hi, given the usb ID the camera should work with uvcvideo, included in kernels newer than 2.6.26 (external module before that), you can see the list of compatible devices here http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ . The latest sources repository (mercurial) is hosted there : http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcvideo/ with a wiki if v4l compilation is required too http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain,_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers But that's a pain in the neck, fortunately not necessary with recent kernels. I also found a thread speaking of connect/disconnect cycles with such a camera on uvcvideo mailing list : http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/linux-uvc-devel/2008-October/004084.html Maybe you've just hit a bad uvcvideo version on Debian.
