You configure it just like a parallel port but with different parameters (qcamintr instead of lptintr for the vector I think). Then use qcamcontrol to grab images; pipe them through cjpeg to convert the output (pbm I think) to jpeg. Warning, this driver is SLOW and will drag down system performance when capturing.
