The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the
upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release.  As a result, the kernel team would
appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.
There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1)  If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-
image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and
test.

--or--

2)  The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer
2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel.  Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4.
Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced.
You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the
bug reported here or if the issue remains.  More importantly, please
open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the
2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'.  Also, please
specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26
kernel.  Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

[intrepid] isight_firmware module doesn't load isight.fw

Bug description:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.26-4-generic

The new isight_firmware module doesn't load isight.fw
I extracted the firmware (isight.fw) using isight-firmware-tools and copied it to /lib/firmware.
Don't know why it doesn't load it. This should not be a duplicate of bug #185634 as the 2.6.26 kernel has a new isight_firmware module. Hope this gets finally fixed for intrepid release.

dmesg:
[   13.424348] firmware: requesting isight.fw
[   13.903466] usbcore: registered new interface driver isight_firmware

lsusb:
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 05ac:8300 Apple, Inc. Built-in iSight (no firmware loaded)
