That is very odd? I'm not exactly sure what this means? I am currently
running the camera with the stated drivers without any problems? It
reports itself as "CPiA USB Camera" stored in vid_caps.name when
ioctl(device, VIDIOCGCAP, &vid_caps); is called? I'm even using it as a
web cam right now. (http://138.202.112.49/)

I'm not sure what the Vendor:product code translates to here but maybe
you do?
