[cpia] Using cpia with a 2.4.13 kernel

[Nick Holloway]

As I discovered that the setting of cpia parameters had been disabled
(as it was insecure) in the 2.4 kernel stream, I decided to drop the
current CVS code from sourceforge into the kernel source.

At the end is a patch required to get it to compile with 2.4.13.

I now have the camera working on a 486 DX2/50 plugged into a
TRISTATE parallel port, with images being captured by "motion"
(motion.sourceforge.net).

I must confess I've hardly exhaustively tested the parameter settings,
as the only setting I have changed is the compression mode.

Are there plans to feed a patch for cpia into the 2.4 kernel?
