I stopped the work at around Oct last year, 2.6.27 is the latest
kernel which is supposed to be supported with it.
Although since there are some bad bugs in it which I've been told by
the manufacturer afterwards I do not recommend
to use it either it shortens the lifetime of most devices... Best is
to stick with windows unless the manufacturer and
chipdesigners support a driver.

WARNING: Error inserting videobuf_core (/lib/modules/2.6.30-tuxonice-
r5/kernel/drivers/media/video/videobuf-core.ko): Invalid module format

this is something that cannot be caused by the em28xx work, it's any
other messy issue
with the v4l2 kernel API.
