It might be possible to muck with the udev db to stop it from appearing as a regular camera, i dunno. bluetooth: have headsets working fine, but atm there's a bad disconnect bug; when turning off the bluetooth module (which is on the USB), maybe 20% of the time, the whole usb bus is killed, and a reboot seems the only fix. This is a linux kernel issue, i'm almost certain.
