Well, I fear it is. This behaviour is common with a number of USB 
interface chips, AFAIK Cypress has even a trademark for it, called 
"ReNumeration" (c) ;-) The problem is that the interface chip is in some 
generic state on powerup (-> device class 0xFF IIRC) and first needs a 
firmware to be loaded. So what you'd need is a small firmware driver and 
afterwards, you should be able to use the uvcvideo driver.

Have you tried using the camera under Windows and afterwards rebooting 
with Linux without unplugging? If you're lucky, the firmware will stay 
loaded as long as you don't unplug the camera. You might also try to use a 
virtual machine with Windows to initialize it.

Yours, Florian
