[SOLVED] Genius webcam Genius I-LOOK 320 not recognized

My webcam (http://www.geniusnet.com/wSite/ct?xItem … ctNode=160) used to work few months back but now it suddenly doesn't.

/dev/video0 doesn't exist

[root@grepfruit ~]# dmesg | tail
[522496.620839] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 30
[522499.481200] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 31 using ehci-pci
[522735.576092] usb 2-1: USB disconnect, device number 31
[522739.867832] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 32 using ehci-pci

And lsusb:

[root@grepfruit ~]# lsusb

My kernel is:

[root@grepfruit ~]# uname -a
Linux grepfruit 3.10.9-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 21 13:49:35 CEST 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Your kernel looks out of date. What's the output of 'pacman -Q linux'? Do you have a reason for not updating you system?

I'm not saying that simply updating will fix anything :-)

Haha, I had latest kernel installed, but haven't rebooted my machine

[root@grepfruit ~]# uname -a

[root@grepfruit ~]# ls /dev | grep video
video0

Now (after reboot) it works... But I'm still curious why it stopped working.
