download the kernel and compile it folow this tutorial for debian
http://www.desktop-linux.net/debkernel.htm
then get the cvs version of driver
Patch for kernel 2.6 and a Makefile for 2.6. And some small bugg fixes.
So to compile with a 2.6 kernel :
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.nw802.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nw802 login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.nw802.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nw802
co nw802-2.4
cd nw802-2.4
cp Makefile.26 Makefile
patch -p0 < patch-2.6
make clean
make
if it fails then go to lists
after kernel compile and driver patching is time for compile
make
ln -sf /opt/kernel-source-2.6.7/drivers/usb/media/usbvideo.h .
ln -sf /opt/kernel-source-2.6.7/drivers/usb/media/usbvideo.c .
make -C /opt/kernel-source-2.6.7 SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/kernel-source-2.6.7'

then we should do modprobe for driver
su -c 'modprobe videodev'
su -c 'modprobe usbvideo'
su -c 'insmod nw8xx.ko'
dmesg | grep video
Linux video capture interface: v1.00
also at the end of dmesg
nw802.c: Potentially NW8xx supported cam found ( supported vendor/product IDs )
nw802.c: Detected bridge type : DivIO NW802
videodev: "nw802 USB Camera" has no release callback. Please fix your driver for proper sysfs support, see http://lwn.net/Articles/36850/
drivers/usb/media/usbvideo.c: nw802 on /dev/video0: canvas=320x240 videosize=320x240
usbcore: registered new driver nw802
nw802.c: Module loaded
install xawtv
su -c 'apt-get install xawtv'
then you should grap nice movies from your camer :) with this command
xawtv -c /dev/video0
