Hi Jonathan I just added it to /etc/hotplug/blacklist - to stop hotplug from using it. I added:- #webcam drivers sn9c102 to the bottom of the list and that seemed to do the job - there are some instructions in the file.
David PS In case this works and you begin to think I know what I'm doing - this suggestion originally came from Michel Xhaard ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] - he wrote the spca module). If you're still having trouble, try mailing him - he was a great help with my problems.
