Hi, after reviewing the mailing list I found a patch to
compile for 2.4 sources provided by Dennis Gerasimov,
I had to manually review the patch and apply it to the
serouces it since there was no easy way to retrieve the
patch from the indexed mails (i.e. from within the
<pre></pre> of the webpages).

I'm attaching his patch in diff form just in case it's
useful for other users. I was trying to make my Trust
120 webcam work and I didn't want to upgrade my kernel
to 2.6 as this module (and the SN9c10x provided by
Luca Risolia and available at
http://www.linux-projects.org/\) forced me too.

The module builds fine and installs fine in my 2.4.27
kernel (Debian GNU/Linux 'sid' system). The webcam does
not work fine, probably due to a sync issue. I'm still
reviewing the forum to see if this has been fixed by
someone....

    It seems this patch has already been added to CVS sources, I
    missed it because I downloaded from the file upload area...
    could you please update the upload area?
