Seem the very old bug is coming back in trusty. I hope im not the last
one using this old webcam.
syslog tells me:
May 8 19:05:03 LAPold kernel: [ 2317.728499] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device
number 5
This issue has been fixed in Karmic.
OV51x cameras are now handled by the gspca_ov519 driver which works out-
of-the box.

Due to the licensing problems with the jpeg decompressor, it isn't

The problem is a missing JPEG decompressor. It's not needed by ALL ov511

The decompressor source is already available in package ov51x-jpeg-

Hopefully this will be fixed in the Jaunty release - are you able to test in
Jaunty development? You can find out more about the development release at
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Alpha5 is due out in a few days, perhaps you
test a LiveCD for us then?
Thanks again.

Care to actually open a new bug repot? The reason I ask is because you
mention this issue only started to appear with Intrepid and this bug

Hello,
I had the same problem with all the Ubuntu releases 'till Hardy.
However, i solved the problem downloading the source of ov51x_jpeg module
