Hi everyone,

I'm sorry not to have answered question earlier. I've been busy
releasing GNOME Scan 0.6 and more. I setted up a git repos with
Gitorious : http://gitorious.org/projects/isight-firmware-tools . Yes, i
don't use bzr, git rocks so much i drop bzr.

I'm thinking at using a HAL callout for loading the firmware. This will
allow more portable firmware loading accross system (Linux, Solaris and
BSD) and distributions without needing usbfs or else. I plan to let the
udev loader in, but disabled by default.

Comments welcome.

Regards,
Étienne.

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:
