Not development related, but I'm hoping y'all can help...

I've got a PWC camera (Logitech QuickCam 4000 Pro) that works fine 
normally.

One of our new projects requires a run of 120 feet or so from the 
computer to the camera. I'm using an IOGear extender to do this over 
CAT5 cable.  This works fine wiht a 90' cable, but that is just a tad 
too short to use in this instance.  So we got a different IOGear 
extender that claims 197 feet...

At first, the system (Debian) would load the module and detect the 
camera, and create the /dev/video0 dev entry.  However, if I tried to 
take a pic, it wouldn't be able to connect.  Contacted IOGear, they 
recommended a powered USB hub between the computer and the adapter.  So 
I've got that.   Now when I try and take a pic, I get an ioctl error 
from streamer (the app I'm using to take the pic):

streamer -c /dev/video0 -s 640x480 -o foo.jpeg
files / video: JPEG (JFIF) / audio: none
ioctl: 
VIDIOC_S_FMT(type=VIDEO_CAPTURE;fmt.pix.width=640;fmt.pix.height=480;fmt.pix.pixelformat=0x32315559
 
[YU12];fmt.pix.field=ANY;fmt.pix.bytesperline=0;fmt.pix.sizeimage=460800;fmt.pix.colorspace=unknown;fmt.pix.priv=0):
 
Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
Oops: ratio size renegotiation failed


Checking the output of dmesg, I see that the camera is connecting and 
disconnecting and being re-recognized, and I also have:

usb 1-2.3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
pwc: Logitech QuickCam 4000 Pro USB webcam detected.
pwc: Registered as /dev/video0.
pwc: Failed to set video mode  fps; return code = -84

In my dmesg output.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Steve
