Hi,

I recently have been bying second hand usb webcams left and right one of them (a creative unknown model) uses the cpia1 chipset, and works with the v4l1 driver currently in the kernel.

One of these days I would like to convert it to a v4l2 driver using gspca as basis, this however will cause us to use parallel port support (that or we need to keep the old code around for the parallel port version).

I personally think that loosing support for the parallel port version is ok given that the parallel port itslef is rapidly disappearing, what do you think ?

Regards,

Hans
