It has been a while since version 0.6... Sorry for that....
Version 0.7 now supports the 2.6 kernel.
epcam-linux-2.6.1.rxq3.diff
(v0.7, patch against 2.6.1 but should apply to later kernels too.)
epcam-0.6.diff(patch against 2.4.20)
epcam-0.5.diff(patch against 2.4.20pre5)
epcam-0.4.diff(patch against 2.4.20pre5)
The se401 driver is now part of the main kernel tree, updates will be done there! You will find it in the later 2.4 kernels.
