You're right: I can get the webcam working with luvcview with or without 
sending the
GET_DEF request, so the driver works around it, the only visible 
difference is the error
msg.
It also seems to work with 'motion', but no luck with other programs, 
like camorama, cheese,
camstream or skype.
skype doesn't even print any error msg, it crashes and that's it.
It keeps crashing until I unload uvcvideo, very annoying.

No good news from this front.

I don't have such a tiny screwdriver now, but in the case I'll let you know.

Thank you for helping.
