We are using HPI interface, connected on the expansion bus fo the
Intel through a Xilinx FPGA (XC3S500E).

My collaborator, who wrote the driver, yesterday worked in order to
migrate the driver to V4L2 and today finished him work :-)

Spook is correctly streaming the first channel through our LAN :-)

Thank you very much for the fast help.
