To be sure you have the right tool (git) :
'sudo dpkg -r git' ( this is the wrong git )
'sudo apt-get install git-core libvcl0-dev curl exuberant-ctags'
'sudo apt-get install doxygen' ( to make docs )
' git clone
http://repo.or.cz/r/microdia.git ' to get microdia/
in /home/julie/
'cd microdia/' .. 'make' .. and to make documentation : 'make doc'
( make : will work in Ubuntu 8.10 , 8.04.1 , tested today )
Testing : 'sudo modprobe videodev' .. 'sudo make insmod'
Installation : 'strip -g sn9c20x.ko' ..
'sudo cp sn9c20x.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/usbvideo/'
'sudo depmod -a'
And you can try 'lsmod | grep sn9' to see your module !
And read more in the file README.
( I have no idea, if this is the right "driver", just followed your link. )
....
Good luck !
