[cpia] Microtek Eyestar 2 not working

I seem to be having the same difficulties as mentioned in this mail:
http://mailman.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/pipermail/cpia/2000-April/000667.html

I include the output from dmesg below. I'm using IRQ 7, DMA 3 parport at
0x378.  I'm using kernel version 2.2.13, Debian potato.

Although it tells me that one camera is detected, it doesn't actually
work. Trying to invoke gqcam gives '/dev/video: No such device' even
though I've done the mknod etc. as specified in the gqcam INSTALL file.

Any help would be much appreciated.
thanks
