It is a separate package, but that's not the point:

GUTSY:
Copy over the Apple firmware, iSight works without any additional software.


HARDY:
Copy over Apple firmware, dmesg shows an error.


This behavior in itself is a regression from Gutsy and should be treated as such and fixed. If fixing involves including IFT in Hardy, then let's get the FFe paperwork going right away. Sitting around and waiting at this stage in Hardy's release will result in the iSight not working for this release and everyone having to go to a 3rd party PPA.

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
