</div>This is outdated information (site last updated in 2003!). The drivers<br>
have been merged into the main Linux kernel now; it looks like you just<br>
need to turn on CONFIG_USB_GSPCA_CPIA1=m and build gspca_cpia1.ko from<br>
drivers/media/video/gspca/cpia1.c.<br>
<br>
Since our kernels already have CONFIG_USB_GSPCA=m, you can build this<br>
module without having to recompile your current kernel.<br>
