Hi,

I've just updated to the latest webcamd port and restarted my system.
Though I can see video0 node in /dev now, there is no message when 
attaching device.  Actually, I get the following:

Mar  2 16:14:56 kernel: ugen3.2: <vendor 0x046d> at usbus3 (disconnected)

Any ideas what might be going on please ?

Cheers,

PS:  The camera does support UVC --

-- and its siblings are listed in uvc(4) man page as supported.
