I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the ibmcam stopped working. And 
since my test machine is a security cam server, that's not good.

The good news is that it was originally reported as a bug in Fedora, 
because I saw it first in one of their pre-beta upgrades. There is a 
bunch of related information at
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=588900
which hopefully will be useful.

Built with the Fedora 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64 config, plus make oldconfig.

Otherwise looks functional, ran light testing on it, but really had to 
fall back.
