Caution, the driver is very Alpha and as such is very buggy. In fact, it
really doesn't like it when you have things other than the camera
plugged in :)

To get it working, you need to modify the drivers/usb/Config.in file and
add this line near the end (but before the fi!)

  bool 'USB CPiA based camera' CONFIG_USB_CPIA

Then run make menuconfig (or your kernel configurator of choice), go to
USB drivers and select the CPiA driver.  Then compile the kernel, don't
forget to enable Video 4 Linux support as well!
