You can actually download bttv release tarballs from bytesex.org: http://dl.bytesex.org/releases/video4linux/. There's the latest 0.7.x and 0.9.x release. Previous releases should be available somewhere, though I'm having difficulties finding them right now.

That shouldn't be needed, it's still called bttv.o. You need a new modules.conf (actaully, modprobe.conf, so it's all compatible) if you move over to a 2.6.x kernel. > - The 2.6.x series is slightly incompatible with the 2.4.x series (alsa etc.) > Moreover, I heard some rumour that 2.6 does not support Promise raid > controllers. I depend on it. Is this fixed? I'm sorry, I don't know about this, you'd have to ask on the kernel mailinglist. 2.6.x still contains OSS modules, btw.
