I have a similar problem with a Creative Optia webcam.

I have found that removing the ehci_hcd module and reinserting it
fixes the problem.

If your kernel ships with ehci_hcd built-in (F11 and later), the
script included also fixes the problem (it rebind the device).

Of course, I'd love to see this issue fixed.
