My brother has just given my son a WebCam DSC100 camera for Xmas[1].
It's been locally re-badged as "Spirit Web-Cam", but the original
label as as above. It's a bottom-end (320x240) digital camera come
web-cam with a USB interface. The only positive (maybe) note is a
reference to ITU-T V.8. Unfortunately my 4.5-PRERELEASE laptop can't
make anything of it. usbd(8) reports
uhub0: device problem, disabling port 1
uhub_explore: port=1 reset failed

I've not used any USB devices in this computer before (and don't have
any other USB devices to test with). I can't see any ports that look
promising. Has anyone heard of this camera? (Or any suggestions on
how to probe it correctly - which will hopefully tell me enough to be
able to ask sensible questions about drivers for it).
[1] Part of my brother's on-going attempts to lure my son to the
Dark Side - the camera's virtually useless without a computer.
