hi xerp,

michael wang, , maybe u have read blog same problem urs..

believe attachment u looking for...
don't know ur system assumed it's kernel 2.6.31.x.

again, workaround...

unzip uvcvideo-2.6.31 ur system, open terminal , cd it.
power-off ur camera first (via hotkey example).
issue commands:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential (this optional..)
$ sudo modprobe -rf uvcvideo
$ make clean; make all

if no errors, can install kernel module:
$ sudo make install
$ sync; sync; sudo reboot

done...
everytime u update ur kernel, u have repeat above steps...
