Angry How to load modules?


Hi All,

What is the way of loading modules in Linux?
I have a file named spcax50.o which is presumably the module for me Intel CS110 WebCam. Now how do I ake it so that my System srecognizes it as a hardware. By the way, there is already a device (TV Tuner card) at /dev/video0 and it gets recognized by my system and works perfectly

Thankx in advance...
