This is a developer release of the driver for the w996[78]cf chipset used in
the WebCam GO/GO plus model manufactured by Creative (and possibly other if based 
on the same chipset).

The project development area is on sourceforge at the address: 
http://project.sourceforge.net/winbond-webcam/

See the FTP section for more files -> the logs

This is a developer only release. Not useful, not working, for the people. 

This module use the USB subsytem and the video4linux interface. You need a 
2.4.0 kernel of above with USB support and video4linux enabled.

Please read the README.Developer for a basic driver structure explaination. (Very
basic)
