[BUG] CPIA Kernel Bug in 2.6.17

[BUG] CPIA Kernel Bug in 2.6.17

[Alex Bennee]

I'm currently running 2.6.17 and I get kernel faults when my camera is
plugged in. From the quietness of the (cpia) mailing list I'm wondering
if the driver atrophied while in the kernel?

For reference the kernel backtrace looks like this:
