Re: webcamd & cuse4bsd

Well, this seems to be either hardware or software (driver code) bug.
After `usbconfig -d ugen1.4 reset` webcamd restarting sometimes creates the device /dev/video0 -- sometimes,, but not every time. More often than not it doesn't. So there's no method seen in this behaviour so far. I wonder how I could debug this.

By contrast, loading on demand is... well, loading "on demand". These are two ways of starting a program, "on demand", as opposite to "when the system starts". Please, correct me if I'm wrong here.Yet the situation is as I described. That's what I'm actually reporting. Just now I've done a reboot, and here we go again: all modules loaded, /dev/cuse persent, the message telling me "webcam is already running on ugen1.4.0" (my web-camera) -- and NO /dev/video0.

Though it hits me now, there are 3 devices /dev/usb/1.4.*. Maybe 1.4.0 is not the correct one?

The module is loaded 'on demand', but obviously something it not loading
it on-demand when you want it. Forcing it to always be loaded, should
solve your problem.
