you should only have to do the very last step if anything... you have
already extracted the firmware, so unless you delete it, it should still
be there. You should not need to compile another version of uvcvideo
(linux-uvc) The module that comes as part of the Hardy kernel is already
patched and works fine. The ift-load command is the command that is ran
in the udev rule. This is the part that was not running for some reason,
but eventually starting working, so if it is not working you should only
have to load the firmware only to get it to work again, other wise you
have an issue somewhere else.

I am having problems with my iSight webcam in Hardy. I have copied AppleUSBVideoSupport to the firmware directory, but when I insert the isight_usb module I get:

[26902.255394] uvcvideo: iSight: firmware loading init failed
[26902.255745] usbcore: registered new interface driver isight
[26902.255749] USB Video Class driver (v0.1.0)
