Re: ov511 [2.6.7-rc3] does something odd

[David Ford]

ov511 driver is a webcam driver, not a NIC.

What I'm getting, is this blurb below, and the camera wigs out.  I get 
unsynched video over a partial frame and a memory image from the last 
good frame.  I.e. if the camera breaks at noon, the bottom half of the 
image sent from the camera -might- remain as an imprint from that image 
for however long until it blurbs again.  The top half of the image sent 
from the webcam is an unsynchronised gray green image.  I.e. diagonal 
stripes of an image.

This isn't 100% the same every time.  Sometimes it's reversed.  
Sometimes the top 1/2 is the live half that is "working" except the top 
half is actually a full HxW frame that's squished vertically into 
approximately the top 1/2.

Now I'm only going to blame half of this on the ov511 driver.  Here's 
why; every N minutes which seems random, this machine burps.  It seems 
that all interrupts are..interrupted.  The HD LED goes solid, sound bits 
loop like a broken record, keyboard and mice halt, and the video output 
is lost.  This burp lasts for about 5-7 seconds.

When the machine recovers, everything is normal -except- the ov511 
device.  All other devices resume operation as expected -- and the 
kernel is none the wiser it seems.  Nothing appears in dmesg.
