When you plug the camera in the USB driver is invoked to figure out what device you're now using, and then the Video for Linux layer does some monkeying around, and I'd guess that it is either the USB layer is not recognizing the dvice and failing (though it really shouldn't) or the Video 4 Linux layer is dying for some other reason. I don't think the camera driver gets involved until you actually try to use it. You might try getting your system in synch with some standard distribution and seeing if that helps.
