I understand that, Ricky. What I am saying though, is just because some
3rd party package addresses proper loading of firmware doesn't mean this
is "fixed release" in Ubuntu. This is not meant to be a derogatory
statement towards Etienne and other community contributors, but rather
for the out-of-the-boxness of Ubuntu. Macbooks and iSights are common
hardware and to ask people to go grab a third party deb to get their
webcams working is somewhat unreasonable of a solution.

Before marking this fix released in Ubuntu I'd like a bit more closure
on how we can better integrate ift's functionality into Ubuntu
officially.

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:
