[NTLUG:Discuss] YES kernel, YES vpn, NO webcam -- and NO sound

[Darin W. Smith]

Regarding the usb errors:

it appears that you have a UHCI style USB, but your system is trying to 
load all of:
usb-uhci.o
usb-ohci.o
uhci.o

You only need one of the uhci variants.  USB comes in two flavors, 
depending on your hardware, UHCI or OHCI.  Linux has 2 different UHCI 
implementations and one OHCI implementation.

You can't load OHCI because you don't have the hardware.
You can't load uhci.o because you already loaded usb-uhci.o and it has 
claimed the hardware.

I would just eliminate usb-ohci.o and uhci.o from my /etc/modules or the rc 
file that's loading them, or the alias to usb-interface in 
/etc/modules.conf, or the quickcam.sh script...whichever is doing the 
insmods.

Regardless, those two errors are not what is keeping the webcam from 
working...these are just informative and the respective modules are not 
loading.  No harm.

It looks as if your quickcam module loaded.  And, in fact, from the dmesg 
output, it looks like it successfully figured out your hardware.  So you 
should, in fact, be able to use the webcam.

As for the soundblaster live, look for emu10k.o and sound.o.
