are we supposed to be using isight-firmware-tools still? From what I can
tell, the Ubuntu version of OFT does not have the ift-load binary
anymore so we cannot even attempt to load the firmware manually... Is
this supposed to be loaded in kernelspace again?

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
