Hi Christopher

I may have come across an idea of where the problem lies, but I don't
have the technical understanding to know how this causes the problem.  I
started by looking at the log files (syslog and kern.log) using the
System Log Viewer, then started to use Google to try and get some
understanding of what is happening.  One thing I looked for was
references to ehci_hcd and came across this web page

http://www.geekdevs.com/2010/04/solved-unable-to-enumerate-usb-device-
disabling-ehci_hcd/

So I tried commands given there to disable ehci_hcd, that is

cd /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ehci_hcd/
sudo sh -c 'find ./ -name "0000:00:*" -print| sed "s/\.\///">unbind'

Having done that it appears that the webcam still works and does not
disconnect.  When it is manually disconnected and reconnected it
connects using ohci_hcd.

Of course I do not know the full implications of disabling  ehci_hcd,
except that I understand that USB support is demoted from 2.0 to 1.1
