Anyone know of a linux driver for a USB webcam called twinklecam?
Windows identifies it as CIF USB CAMERA 2110. Google search returns

when i bought a camera that wasn't supported under linux (eventually i
found an alpha-grade driver that was just in the beginning of being
written, and did nothing) - i passed the camera to a windows machine, and
used what i learned form the attempt of installing a non-working camera -

Does CONFIG_MODVERSIONS relevant to this discussion?
CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
Usually, modules have to be recompiled whenever you switch to a new
kernel. Saying Y here makes it possible, and safe, to use the
same modules even after compiling a new kernel; this requires the
program

It's the Unix philosophy to give you enough rope to shoot yourself in
the feet. I certainly do not object to it. I do believe in informed
decisions - just telling people to 'use insmod -f, it works' without
mentioning the risks is inappropriate.

Well, I don't know how much (if any) got to reverse engineer the algorithm
inside. There are no documentation available, as the
So he maitains the driver but doesn't release the source? if the

is rather trivial.
If the source was available, then there wouldn't be any issue of insmod -f ...
No, the source is not available, nor the documentation for the
