Any chance these can be included in OpenSUSE 10.2, at least as a KMP? They're fairly high quality, and support quite a bit of the webcams on the market today.

Please talk to the maintainer to get it into the official Linus kernel. Once those are in, we will enable it the module,

There was a dispute with the maintainer who was using hooks into the kernel, he threw a tantrum after pleading unsuccessfully to be treated as a special case and asked for his code to be removed from the kernel, it duly was. Alan Cox then stepped up to support an alternative that was somewhat limited at first, subsequently the original maintainer relented, but his code was never reinstated, so I doubt we'll see it in any openSUSE products - it was/is encumbered by a NDA between the maintainer and Philips.
