The camera doesn't work in FreeBSD; I use it in Windows for videoconferencing. Unfortunately the device stays powered up in BSD, is there any way to turn the power off (or to tell the system to completely ignore the camera)? I supposed I could unplug it from the USB port, but it's a PITA to do this all the time. Thanks, Vladimir
