I'm using the CPiA driver with my Zoom Telephonics ZoomCam, which
is another CPiA-based camera. If the driver is named for only one
seller's trade name of the camera, people might think the driver
only worked with the WebCam II instead of with all CPiA cameras. 

My vote is to stick with a generic name. Either CPiA for the
chipset being used or something related to VLSI Vision Ltd., the
company that makes the cameras. It might even be a good idea to
make the name more specific, like "CPiA-VV0670", just in case
VLSI Vision releases a different camera chipset next year.
