I'm fairly new at the driver thing, but I have a sloppy workaround that makes the driver work for the latest kernel (2.6.17-1.2157_FC5smp in my case) with a QuickCam Communicate STX.

I found this while reverting to my old webcam (a regular QuickCam Communicate) and using the qc-usb-messenger driver. It would work fine when I first compiled and loaded it, but after a reboot I also got the unknown parameter error.
