My Coolpix 990 and gphoto2 won't play any more...

Hi,
I've a Nikon Coolpix 990, and want to download images to my Ubuntu machine
under Warty.
I'm 90% sure I've done this sucessfully in the past, as I have images from
the camera on the
computer, and there are no traces of them being downloaded via my (Windows)
laptop.
However, when I plug the camera into the USB port things don't work as I
expect them too.
The camera appears as a USB device under HAL, and all looks correct
there. Gphoto kicks
off automatically, detects pictures on the camera and asks me whether I
want to download them.
If I answer yes, then the process continues to the 'Import Photos' dialogue.
At this point things go wrong;
The software reports 'No camera detected' and appears to freeze while
looking for a Nikon
driver. And that is as far as I get...
The one oddity that I can discern is the lack of any Nikon drivers in the
location that the program
appears to be searching
****STOP PRESS***
While checking the symptoms for this email, I left it for several minutes,
whereupon it has 'found'
the camera and has downloaded the images from it.
But I'm still posting, as I think the process used to work quickly, as
you'd expect rather than
taking several minutes.
What might be messed up in configuration?
Neil
