SPCA webcam driver family
There is an entire family of "spca" drivers for Linux developed by Michel Xhaard. You can find them all on this page , together with a short description. The original name comes from the fact that it was designed for the Sunplus SPCA chipset series, but it gradually developed into a more versatile driver that supports many other chipsets today.
