Has anyone had any luck getting Logitech Quickcams working?

I've got 2 and both fail in the same way:

I have 2 cameras hooked up to the board, and both fail the same way.

Both cameras work fine on a MIPS board and on an AMD64 system.

It's possible that the driver won't handle 2 cameras (I just though of
that and I have no way to test as I am not at the board) but it's also
possible that it's something to do with the ARM architecture and/or
the TS/EP93xx USB port....

I've tried both the spca5xx/LE patched for these cameras and the
full-blown spca5xx drivers.

Both scpacat and vgrabbj fail to grab an image.

I can't use the 2.6 kernel with the gspca driver as I haven't found a
way to boot it from the CF card on the 7200....
