It actually looks like the hub crashes completely. When pluging a
USB-mouse after a crash nothing happens at all. (At least nothing appears
in dmesg). Also the program using the camera crashes and ends up in a
defunct state meaning that the module cant be unloaded. When trying to
rmmod -f on it the machine crashes completely.

I have tried with 4 different cameras on two different VIA EPIA M10000
mainboards. They all have the same problem. I have also seen a similar
problem with some other web-cameras. Then using one camera worked nicely,
but when using two at the same time it crashed imediately. I do not have
access to that hardware any more, so I can not check it now.

That it is more unstable with two cameras is something I have observed
also. With two cameras anything over two hours is unusual, but with one
camera I have had it working for around twelve.

I have now tried it with  #define EHCI_VERBOSE_DEBUG and only got

ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.3: irq status 0001 INT

ehci_hcd 0000:00:10.3: irq status 0001 INT
