The 680 has some still mode support under gphoto2.  Streaming video is
being worked on by Kevin Sisson.  His website is
http://personal.bellsouth.net/clt/k/j/kjsisson.  I know he has it
running fairly well with ohci usb ontrollers, less stable with uhci. You
can contact him there, and if you want to help, he has all the docs
you'll need. His driver is (or will be soon) in the 2.5 kernel.
