hi,
i bought device (i.e. usb frame grabber) that works with this driver.
for now i have manually-compiled module for this that works fine, but in
a long term i'd prefer to have this module in distribution kernel so i
won't have to do this all over again each time new kernel arrives with
dist-upgrade (i use debian/testing).
since it is kernel part any way i think effort of adding this module is
minimal and it's always nice if device works straight after plugging it
in (this hardware is easily accessible, for a low price in my country).
IMHO this update could appear along with next linux-image-2.6xxx package
release.
