Arch refuses to automatically load uvcvideo module

I've added it to /etc/modules-load.d/ but my system just doesn't load the module.

It does not show up in lsmod but manually loading with

 modprobe uvcvideo 

works just fine.

 dmesg 

gives me this:

[   21.575497] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USB Webcam (0bda:5727)
[   21.581353] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
[   23.244421] usbcore: deregistering interface driver uvcvideo

Slightly ambiguous there - how exactly did you add it?

I placed a file in /etc/modules-load.d/ that file is called uvcvideo.conf and it contains a single line with

 uvcvideo 

edit: I've also added

 modprobe uvcvideo 

to an autostartscript which is ran everytime I boot, but that didn't have an effect either.

Judging by the dmesg code it seems like for some reason uvcvideo is unloaded again after it's successfully loaded, am I right? Why is this happening?

Re: Arch refuses to automatically load uvcvideo module

Is the uvcvideo module blacklisted anywhere under /etc/modprobe.d?

After you boot up, what is the output of:

dmesg|grep uvcvideo

It's not blacklisted. Blacklist.conf is empty.

Dmesg doesn't return anything, uvcvideo is not in the output.
