I've been using the module with many 2.3.4x and 2.3.50 kernels with no
major problems. I'm still at 2.3.50 but I belive it should work on
2.3.51 as well. Make sure the video4linux support is enabled in the
kernel configuration.

It's a character device with major 81 and minor 0, create it using mknod.
