Hi,

Basically devd is responsible for attaching webcamd automagically.

Default rule is to look for .bInterfaceClass = 0x0e :

cat /usr/local/etc/devd/webcamd.conf

# Generic USB video devices.
notify 100 {
         match "system"          "USB";
         match "subsystem"       "INTERFACE";
         match "type"            "ATTACH";
         match "intclass"        "0x0e";
         action "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/webcamd start $cdev";
};

Maybe your webcam needs a specific rule to attach automagically.
