Hi,

I was trying to use 2 Philips USB webcams on 2 standard ports of Linux
2.6.15.4. But the laptop simply hangs if I connect second webcam.

There seems to be some major issue in USB stack of Linux.

I am using spca5xx.ko driver and spcaview, camstream as video
player/capturer.

If anybody has faced the same issue, or have any solution please let me
know.

Thanks in advance.
