It also seems that removing isight-firmware-tools removes isight.fw from
/lib/firmware. So isight.fw should be extracted to a safe location where
it won't vanish when isight-firmware-tools is removed. Then it can be
copied to /lib/firmware before the required reboot. As a side note, mine
is working now :)

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.
