Hi,
So I plugged a logitech webcam on the USB port wl500gx (in other there is my USB key). I launched the webcam application (by clicking on preview on the web page) and it works fine.:cool:
But when I plug the hub on the USB port and the webcam on the hub, it doesn't work.:(
Oh I have to precise you that the hub has an external supply.
Do I have to add some nodes in the /dev/v4l directory ?
Do I need an additionnal driver for the hub ? :confused:

Thanks a lot ! ;)

It should work fine without any change. Perhaps there's some incompatibility between webcam/hub. Try to reboot the router with connected webcam. Try to unplug/plug in the webcam while the router is running as well and check what's the matter using dmesg.
