Hi. I can't get the webcam working on my laptop, having the same problem like uhsf, and did what OrionFyre said: loader --reload -f /lib/firmware/r5u87x-05ca-1870.fw

I am running Linux 2.6.27-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT, and I know there's an issue with the "old" r5u870 driver. AFAIK it's uvcvideo's job to create the device node, but it doesn't.
Please help and tell me if you need aditional information. Thanks.
